Consensus Mechanism:
"A protocol that ensures agreement among decentralized network nodes on a single, trusted, and immutable version of the blockchain, preventing fraud and ensuring integrity."
Examples: Proof of Work (PoW), Proof of Stake (PoS), Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS), Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT), etc.
Autoscaling:
"A technology that dynamically adjusts resources (e.g., computing power, nodes) to match changing demands, ensuring optimal performance, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness, without manual intervention."
In other words, autoscaling automatically scales up or down to match workload demands, ensuring resources are utilized efficiently.
