Sizing and pricing assumptions
On This Lesson 4 topics
This lesson is planned. The outline below lists the topics it will cover. The full lesson has not been published yet.
In this lesson
size the solution and state pricing assumptions explicitly.
Planned topics
- Start from load: orders per day, peak per second, data volumes, users, page views.
- Translate load into resources: instances or tasks, database size and I/O, storage, data transfer.
- List pricing assumptions: region, on-demand versus committed use, discounts, currency, date of price list.
- Mark each number as measured, estimated, or guessed, with a confidence level.
- Keep assumptions in one place so they can be changed and the model recalculated.
Draft outline details
Demonstration
an assumptions sheet: driver, value, source, confidence (orders per month: 600,000, from web shop reports, high confidence).
