Project Name: twl
Type of quota increase requested: vCPU
Reason:
We are planning on notifying ~30k editors about their eligibility and are expecting a pretty big increase in concurrent usage.
Because of the various things we are running right now, we can only dedicate 2 vCPUs to our main application instance, which can only service a small number of simultaneous authenticated users.
Right now, I can't test how we could scale with more cores since we only have one vCPU left, but I can saturate the CPU capacity of our similarly-sized staging instance with 25 simultaneous users in load testing.
We seem to be doing fine on storage and memory.
It would be great to get a large temporary increase in vCPUs (to 16 or 32) and the ability to resize our current g3.cores2.ram4.disk20 staging instance to something like g3.cores<8|16>.ram4.disk20. I can limit the cores available to the app further with local resource limits on the box to find the lower bound for a given concurrent user capacity. If it doesn't make sense to make new flavors just for testing, then we may need the other resources scaled up to allow us to resize our staging instance with the necessary cpu count in existing flavors.
If doing a temporary increase for testing doesn't make sense on your end, please let me know, I'm happy for this to be the beginning of a conversation on right-sizing our project resources.
Thanks!
