Method and system for proactively managing horizontal scaling of a node

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer readable program code, which when executed by a computer processor enables the computer processor to perform a method for managing data replication, the method comprising:

• identifying data being used by an application programming interface (API), wherein the data is stored in a source device;
• tagging the data based on a usage level of the data by the API;
• obtaining a predicted probability of the usage level of the data;
• making a first determination that the data is tagged as important data and the predicted probability of the usage level of the data is low;
• and
• replicating, based on the first determination, the data from the source device to a target device.

A system for managing data replication, the system comprising:

• a processor comprising circuitry;
• memory comprising instructions, which when executed perform a method, the method comprising:
• identifying data being used by an application programming interface (API), wherein the data is stored in a source device, wherein the API is a representational state transfer (REST) API;
• tagging the data based on a usage level of the data by the API;
• obtaining a predicted probability of the usage level of the data;
• making a first determination that the data is tagged as important data and the predicted probability of the usage level of the data is low;
• and
• replicating, based on the first determination, the data from the source device to a target device.
