How Do You Approach Database Capacity Planning?
Database capacity planning means forecasting future storage, throughput, and connection needs from current growth trends and peak-load patterns, then provision…
What is Back-of-the-Envelope Estimation?
Back-of-the-envelope estimation is the practice of using rough, order-of-magnitude arithmetic (users, QPS, storage, bandwidth) to size a system design before w…
What is the Bulkhead Pattern?
The bulkhead pattern isolates resources such as thread pools, connection pools, or processes per dependency or workload so that a failure or slowdown in one pa…

What Are the Main Autoscaling Strategies?
Autoscaling automatically adjusts the number of running instances to match demand, and the main strategies are reactive metric-based scaling (CPU, memory, or r…
What are Kubernetes Resource Requests and Limits?
A resource request is the guaranteed amount of CPU and memory the scheduler reserves for a container on a node, while a limit is the hard ceiling the container…
What is Capacity Planning in DevOps?
Capacity planning is the disciplined practice of forecasting the compute, memory, storage, and network resources a system will need ahead of demand, then provi…
