Overview

Conduct a thorough assessment of your system's scalability. This activity helps you identify and prioritize improvements needed for growth.

Learning objectives

  • Assess current scalability limits
  • Identify scaling bottlenecks
  • Create scaling roadmap

Instructions

Assess scalability:

1. Map system components 2. Identify scaling dimensions 3. Stress test key paths 4. Find bottlenecks 5. Plan improvements

Steps

1
