01SCALING · LOAD

A product that holds up as load grows

Autoscaling, replicas, and cache across the whole request path. Load testing finds the ceiling before your users do, and the system adds capacity on its own — from the first thousand to millions.

Holding the load

We measure behavior under load, not by eye. Load tests show how latency grows and where the resource headroom is — numbers on dashboards you have access to.

03LOAD HEADROOM

Where the bottleneck is

X axis is load, Y axis is resource headroom. Every layer on the map — so you can see at a glance what hits its limit first at peak.

Takeaway

The bottleneck is database writes

At peak, database writes hit the limit first. We add read replicas, sharding, and cache — and the ceiling rises.

04SCALING STACK

A stack that carries growth

Every layer scales independently. Autoscaling, cache, queues, and DB replicas add capacity where it’s needed — from the first thousand requests to a million.

06FAQ

Scaling the questions we hear most

With a load test and profiling. We run realistic traffic, find what hits its limit first — the database, cache, a service, or a queue — and build a plan: where to add replicas, where to cache, and where to rewrite the bottleneck.
