From 0 to Capacity Planning
- 1. From Zero To Capacity Planning
- 3. Globallydistributed and Highly available
- 4. Whycapacity planning? Or a journey of discovery and ingenuity
- 5. The views reflected in this talk are not to be considered a reflection of the skills of my coworkers who are extremely nice human beings and way better at capacity planning than I am. 😜 NOTAmonitoring person 💀 🚨🚨
- 6. INSTRUMENT MONITOR & ALERT PLAN & PREDICT The Road to Capacity planning ?
- 7. FindingsBooks 0 Day One Some Learning Our Discoveries Rituals &Myths Asking Around Bringing it Home our Path today Checking The Edge
- 9. aconvenient”situation” Handles State Many Clients Othersystemsdependonthisservicetobe:up,healthy,andavailable! A bit F*cked
- 10. Our World Edge Core✨ ✨
- 11. a Fastly POP
- 12. I Rule the Edge! Evaluates weekly global POPs performance & makes projections Publishes capacity performance report in clear location Plans for our physical capacity & transit capacity Meet Catharine
- 13. Planning Our Capacity Some metrics - Network Capacity (Gb) - Ordered Network Capability (Gb) - Planned Network Capacity (Gb) - RPS Capacity (k) - Network peak (Gb) - RPS peak (k) - Site CPU Peak (%) - Network Utilization (%) Over 30%: flagged, Over 70%: Red status
- 14. Edge Insights Our ability to correctly plan for capacity is critical to our bottom line Capacity doesn’t just involve hardware; software optimizations matter People affect capacity
- 16. Defining Capacity planning Measuring, planning, & managing system growth Determines what your system needs & when From the observation of actual traffic. Use current performance as baseline. Must happen regardless of what you might optimize
- 17. ARE WE RIGHT NOW? We have to be this fast & reliable X per second & Y% Uptime MEASURE HOW/RELIABLE WE ARE HARDWARE SOFTWARE ARCHITECTURE CHANGE / ADD / REMOVE FIGURE OUT HOW TO STAY FAST/RELIABLE ENOUGH Yes! No! Allspaw's Wisdom From The Art of Capacity Planning 👈
- 18. System’s Ceiling: critical level of a resource that cannot be crossed without failure. Find yours Another form of Capacity Planning: Controlled load testing Predictions: ceilings + historical data Allspaw's Wisdom
- 19. Allspaw's Wisdom System architecture can affect your ability to add capacity Identify & track your application’s metrics Tying metrics to user behavior is helpful If you don’t have ways to measure your current capacity you can’t plan
- 20. Little’s Law & Capacity planning L = λW Capacity (L), Throughput (λ), and Latency (W) Applies to stable systems Use this information to better understand our workload and to define constraints
- 21. Literature Insights Possible to have plenty of capacity and a slow site nonetheless Projections & curve fitting are guesses Keep track of API calls & their rate Always gonna be spikes & hiccups. Take the bad with the good & plan for it
- 22. Rituals & Myths
- 25. Industry Insights Hard to extrapolate general advice into something applicable for my situation Simplicity & ability to reason are the only things I could trust Confusing community stance on the ROI of capacity planning
- 26. & Putting things in practice Findings
- 27. Step One Step Two steps followed Documented system architecture & request lifecycle Formalized: clients, SLAs, & operational requirements Discovery Confirmed constraints & determined strategy Parallelized capacity & optimizations tasks Organized a team Gauging & Planning
- 28. Edge Core APP / API APP / API LB LB COORDINATOR A COORDINATOR B COORDINATOR C 🐤 CACHE LON CACHE DFW CACHE FRA CACHE LAX CACHE AMS CACHE SYD REQUEST flow 📄 📄 📄👉
- 29. Step Four steps followed Start process again Tons of tuning left to do. We know we have suboptimal configs! re-Evaluation Step Three Doubled RAM: our constrained resource Horizontally scaled to 3 servers + 1 canary Capacity expansion
- 30. System Before
- 31. System After
- 32. System Before System After
- 33. System Before System After
- 34. Unexpected Challenges Our goal when adding capacity was no service disruption. Localhost is the goddamn devil Gap from metric/graph to insight can be huge Slowness is the nemesis of distributed system
- 35. The Oprah Problem Developing operational insights into non-owned system under pressure is not great Use playbooks, debug.md, rotations, & rollout owners Proactivity and clarity are your best tools Everyone gets more capacity!
- 36. Some Insights Anything API driven ought to carry a rate limit - We can easily DDOS ourselves! Monitor and alert on expensive API actions Mind your system dependencies: practice defensive system design & architecture CAPACITY PLANNING ALERTING MONITORING
- 37. Some Findings Capacity tied to murky organizational structure is both good & bad (but mostly bad) Mind your error descriptions! Cheeky today ⇒ misleading tomorrow!
- 38. Finding my system’s ceiling is still tricky Services owned by engineers means you need to level up on Ops skills Back to re-evaluate setup to get more out of this new capacity Performance testing ought to be done on the core’s side (& edge) My Insights
- 39. TL;DR Is a process not a one time event Pushes you to better understand your system, its capacity & its boundaries - that is good! Proactivity is best Capacity planning Request lifecycle gets tricky System boundaries, dependencies & SLAs must be discussed Your system’s capacity may bound other systems capacity Distributed systems
