Capacity notes for growing API fleets
Blend load tests with seasonal traffic knowledge so allocation conversations stay grounded.
Capacity planning drifts when spreadsheets never meet production reality. You will pair load harnesses with historical traffic shapes, annotate uncertainty, and communicate headroom in language business stakeholders accept. Cloud cost ops references stay descriptive, not prescriptive about spend commitments.
