Abstract

A method and system for creating service instances in a computing grid. The method can include scheduling a service in the computing grid to process at least a portion of a requested transaction. At least one additional service related to the scheduled service can be identified, and a load condition can be assessed in the at least one additional service related to the scheduled service. A new instance of the at least one additional service can be created if the load condition exceeds a threshold load. In this way, an enhanced capacity for processing transactions can be established in the related services in advance of a predicted increase in load in the grid.
