From business forecast to load
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
convert "10× orders" into requests per second and concurrency.
Planned topics
- Chain: orders per day, then orders per peak hour, then per second, then requests per order.
- Each order triggers several calls (browse, cart, checkout, payment, tracking); count them.
- Write every factor as a named assumption with an owner.
- Keep the forecast as a range, not a single number.
Draft outline details
Demonstration
a worksheet: 200k orders/day (verify with data), peak hour 12% of day, 25 requests per order, giving peak RPS with a low, expected, and high column.
