Cost & Capacity Planning
What’s a structured method for capacity planning agent execution workloads?
A structured capacity planning method for agent execution workloads follows a clear, metrics-driven framework. Begin by tracking baseline workflow metrics such as per-run resource consumption, execution frequency and failure rates, then scale your resources to match projected workload growth while accounting for any retry-related overhead and associated load. Be careful to avoid overprovisioning by keeping a modest buffer for unplanned spikes in agent request volume instead of overcommitting upfront resources.
