Overview

What this engagement covers.

We verify that your horizontal and vertical scaling mechanisms actually engage under load, that autoscaling policies trigger at the right thresholds, and that performance holds linearly as capacity grows.

Horizontal scale validation

Additional instances provisioned under load and traffic balanced correctly.

Vertical scale testing

Resource limits validated before and after vertical upgrades.

Autoscaling trigger verification

Scale-out and scale-in thresholds confirmed against real load.

Linearity analysis

Performance plotted against capacity to identify non-linear degradation.

Cold-start impact

New instance warm-up time and its effect on p99 latency quantified.
