Question

Analytics show the city’s 311 mobile API traffic roughly doubling year over year. Current capacity and DR plans still assume last year’s peak. Which reliability-planning improvement best responds to that growth trend?

Accepted Answer

Update capacity models, Auto Scaling ceilings, quotas, and DR exercise scope using the observed growth trend so reliability plans match projected 311 demand — If 311 calls are doubling, planning like last summer is wishful thinking. Refresh the ceilings, quotas, and DR drills for the new curve before the next spike teaches the lesson the hard way.

Answer

Freeze Auto Scaling max size at last year’s peak to control cost regardless of demand

Answer

Assume mobile usage will reverse next year and postpone any capacity review

Answer

Remove multi-AZ deployments to fund marketing of the 311 app
