Capacity Planning

Scaling for growth and demand.

Capacity Dimensions

Message Volume

• Current messages/day
• Growth projection
• Peak vs average
• Seasonal patterns

Asset Count

• Current fleet size
• Growth rate
• Acquisition plans

Symptom Volume

• Active symptom count
• Detection rate
• Historical retention

User Load

• Concurrent operators
• API clients
• Query patterns

Sizing Guidelines

Small Fleet (< 1,000 assets)

• Standard tier sufficient
• Single region deployment
• Shared infrastructure

Medium Fleet (1,000 - 10,000 assets)

• Enhanced tier recommended
• Consider dedicated resources
• Multi-zone for reliability

Large Fleet (> 10,000 assets)

• Enterprise tier required
• Dedicated infrastructure
• Multi-region capability

Growth Planning

Monitoring Growth

• Track utilization trends
• Alert on thresholds
• Regular capacity reviews

Scaling Actions

• Horizontal scaling for compute
• Storage tier upgrades
• Network capacity increases

Cost Optimization

Balance performance and cost:

• Right-size resources
• Use tiered storage
• Optimize retention
• Efficient queries
