Cost & Capacity Planning
What’s the right way to plan capacity for production agent workloads?
A solid starting point for capacity planning for agent workloads is mapping core execution and model call patterns. Track baseline event volume, inference frequency, and retry rates, then scale resources incrementally while monitoring usage against projections. Tie capacity planning directly to your agent’s workflow step count and duration. Keep in mind that observability alone does not cover unforeseen workload spikes.
