Capacity Planning Playground

Industry-ready Capacity Planning Calculator

Start with common application templates, compare baseline and optimized scenarios, and project capacity and cost over the next 12 months.

Application templates

Choose a common workload profile to start with realistic defaults.

Read-heavy storefront and checkout APIs with campaign-driven peaks.

Baseline scenario

Configure workload and resilience assumptions for this scenario.

Provider mode

Average requests/second

Steady-state average throughput.

Peak multiplier

Burst factor applied on top of average load.

Payload size (KB)

Average request/response payload size.

Concurrent users

Simultaneous active users/sessions.

Read percentage

Reads vs writes in workload mix.

Annual growth (%)

Used for month-12 projection.

Availability target

Optimized scenario

Configure workload and resilience assumptions for this scenario.

Provider mode

Average requests/second

Steady-state average throughput.

Peak multiplier

Burst factor applied on top of average load.

Payload size (KB)

Average request/response payload size.

Concurrent users

Simultaneous active users/sessions.

Read percentage

Reads vs writes in workload mix.

Annual growth (%)

Used for month-12 projection.

Availability target

Now vs 12-month projection

Compare baseline and optimized trajectories side by side.

Recommendations

Increase cache strategy (target >=35% hit ratio) to reduce compute pressure.
Use autoscaling and admission controls to absorb burst traffic safely.
