Abstract
A total number of messages in a set of messages that are processed by a computing node in a virtual computer cluster during a time interval is determined. The virtual computer cluster is deployed with a cloud computing service and includes the computing node and other computing nodes at an end time of the time interval. It is determined whether the total number of messages in the set of messages processed by the computing node is no less than a maximum per-interval message number threshold. In response to determining that the total number of messages is no less than a maximum per-interval message number threshold, the cloud computing service is caused to start an additional computing node in the virtual computer cluster after the time interval, wherein the additional computing node is used to process one or more subsequent messages to be processed after the time interval.
