A company is deploying Backstage to production. The backend is deployed in a private subnet without a public IP address. The frontend is served from a CDN. How should users access the backend API?

Expose the backend through a load balancer with a public endpoint and configure the frontend's `backend.baseUrl` to that endpoint.

Configure the CDN to proxy requests to the backend's private IP address.

Place the backend in the public subnet so it has a public IP address.

Use Azure Bastion to allow the frontend to reach the backend.

Which approach is recommended for ensuring resilience of the Backstage backend in production?

Running a single instance with a large memory allocation

Storing session state in memory

Using a cron job to restart the backend periodically

Deploying multiple instances behind a load balancer

A company deploys Backstage to production with multiple backend replicas. They notice that during peak usage, some requests fail with timeouts. The backend CPU usage is high, but memory is normal. They want to improve resilience and handle the load. What should they do?

Disable the health check endpoint to reduce CPU usage.

Increase the memory limit of the backend containers.

Reduce the number of replicas to decrease overhead.

Increase the number of backend replicas and configure a horizontal pod autoscaler based on CPU utilization.
