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.
