[WIP][DO NOT MERGE] Proposal: Auto-scaling

Auto-scaling is a feature that allows users to increase capacity as needed by controlling the number of replicas deployed within the system based on request statistics. Auto-scaling is bidirectional, it will scale up to a specified limit as requests increase and scale down to minimal capacity as the requests decrease.

The pseudocode interface is too specific.  Rephrase this: "Periodically the system should loop through defined thresholds, and determine if the threshold is exceeded."
