Personal Peak Concurrency
There is a lot of attention in the world of network services to properly scale bandwidth and service utlization. For example, it used to be an ISP & VOD rule of thumb to plan for 10% peak concurrency - namely, assume that 10% of your users are online at any given time. It’s critical to plan for concurrent peak ulitilzation.
I’ve been thinking that lately my personal peak concurrency is beyond the system I have built to date.
Work life is always busy. But sometimes it gets to a point where eveything needs to happen at the same time.
Family life is always busy. Three kids and lots of changes means that life is moving too fast. And sometimes it gets to a point where eveything needs to happen at the same time.
And it’s manageable. Except when the family & work life needs happen at the exact same point. Then my system doesn’t work. And that is happening right now.
I need more bandwidth and I need more brain servers.
