LAB 001 / CAPACITY

A little traffic.
A lot to learn.

What happens when demand outgrows capacity? Take an instance offline, turn up the traffic, and watch the balance shift.

  1. Each instance adds 40 req/s of capacity.
  2. Toggle A, B, or C to change what’s available.
  3. Move the slider to see when requests exceed capacity.

A simplified model for exploring capacity. No network requests, real servers, or production metrics.
