    Hi,
    As a suggestion you can use Metric alerts (assuming that number of requests is the same as Queue Message Count or some other metric) to create such alerts that are attached to action group that has link to automation service like Azure Automation runbook or Azure Function. The logic of those services will be code that scales out/in.
