T7 Solution engineers scaling and performance — autoscaling, load testing, caching layers, database tuning and CDN edge — for sudden traffic, steady growth and predictable events.
Scaling problems rarely announce themselves — they land on launch day, sale day or press day. Systems fail at the slowest link, and most teams don't know what that is until it fails.
We load-test against realistic scenarios, tune database indexes and queries, add cache layers (Redis, CDN), and set autoscaling policies with sensible headroom.
Every engagement produces a documented capacity plan: at X RPS this breaks, here's the next-hop fix, and here's the cost curve.
k6, Gatling and Locust scenarios that model real user journeys — not synthetic /health hammering.
Query plans, indexes, connection pooling (PgBouncer), read replicas and partitioning.
Redis, Memcached and CDN caching with correct invalidation and stale-while-revalidate.
HPA/VPA, Karpenter, Cluster Autoscaler and cloud native ASG policies tuned to lead traffic.
Sync vs async decomposition, queues (SQS, RabbitMQ, BullMQ) and back-pressure handling.
Documented headroom, break-points and next-hop fixes with cost curves.
We model user journeys and cache/DB hit patterns — not just hammer /health.
Most scale problems are DB problems. We fix indexes and queries before we scale pods.
Invalidation done right — no stale-forever bugs or thundering-herd fills.
You get a written 'this breaks at X RPS, next fix costs Y' — no more launch-day surprises.
Production AI modules we drop into your scaling & performance engagement.
Yes — k6/Gatling/Locust scenarios modelling real user journeys, with reports and next-fix recommendations.
Yes — query plans, indexes, PgBouncer, read replicas and partitioning for PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB and others.
Depends on traffic pattern. We tune with lead scaling so pods spin up before latency hits — not after users notice.
Yes — capacity planning, pre-warming caches, pre-scaling ASGs, on-call setup and post-event review.
