# Container Capacity Calculation

## Given

- Expected traffic: **15,000 requests/second**
- Capacity per container: **500 requests/second**
- Safety margin: **30%**

---

## Step 1: Calculate Minimum Containers

Minimum Containers = Total Requests ÷ Capacity per Container

```
15000 ÷ 500 = 30 Containers
```

---

## Step 2: Add Safety Margin

```
30 × 30% = 9 Containers
```

---

## Total Required Containers

```
30 + 9 = 39 Containers
```

---

## Final Result

To safely handle **15,000 requests per second**, the application should run **39 application containers**.

The additional containers provide extra capacity during traffic spikes and improve overall reliability.
