Scalability and Performance guide set
Capacity models, bottleneck analysis, and performance planning across applications and platforms.
Start with a deterministic tool, then go deeper with the guide set.
Tools
Kubernetes Capacity Calculator
- Plan worker capacity for Kubernetes workloads and turn pod requirements into node counts and utilization targets with clear assumptions.
-
- Estimate node group counts, pod density, and instance tradeoffs for EKS clusters with managed add-ons, multi-AZ layouts, and headroom.
-
- Estimate table growth, index amplification, backup retention, and IOPS needs before a production database becomes a fire drill.
