Do a Simple Capacity Check
Estimate capacity headroom using current load, expected traffic, and saturation threshold.
Current peak is 800 requests per second. The campaign forecast is 2.5x. App autoscaling can handle 2,400 requests per second, but the payment provider limit is 1,500 requests per second. Capacity check: current peak x forecast multiplier, compare each request-path limit, then add headroom or degradation. Checking only app CPU misses external rate limits and shared pools that fail before servers look busy. Team confidence rests on app autoscaling graphs. The plan names payment-provider rate limit as the launch bottleneck and adds a mitigation. 1 800 rps x 2.5 = 2,000 rps expected demand. Start with a concrete demand number,…
