Capacity Planning
description
Quarterly cross-team workflow for forecasting infrastructure resource needs and ensuring
sufficient capacity is provisioned ahead of anticipated growth or peak traffic events.
Platform engineers and SREs analyse historical usage trends, projected product growth,
and upcoming campaigns or launches. Resource gap analyses are translated into provisioning
requests or cloud scaling policies. Cost implications are reviewed with finance or
engineering leadership, and approved capacity changes are scheduled. The workflow prevents
both costly over-provisioning and performance degradations from under-provisioning,
directly supporting uptime and cost-efficiency objectives.
