| Jan 16, 2012 at 23:21 | comment | added | Mark Henderson Mod | @gWaldo - ah, I kinda answered generically in the first question, and made it apply to databases. But someone else can clear up my answers :) | |

| Jan 16, 2012 at 20:22 | comment | added | voretaq7 | @sysadmin1138 are any of the ones you've answered particularly shining examples of "How do I do capacity planning?" -- I think if we could close these as duplicates of a canonical "This is what you need to do" rather than "Not Constructive, here's a comment saying what you need to consider" it would be more efficient. | |
| Jan 16, 2012 at 12:33 | comment | added | sysadmin1138 Mod | I've answered this question a number of times, generally of the "this is how you figure it out for yourself," mode. It's been received favorably more of than I've had, "Whut?" or, "Just ^!&$ tell me." | |
| Jan 16, 2012 at 10:22 | comment | added | Rob Moir | This was exactly the comment I was scrolling down to make. Giving people the help they need to find out for themselves is a good thing, I think. | |
| Jan 16, 2012 at 5:05 | comment | added | gWaldo | I think that noting that theirs isn't a formulaic question is a good start, then offer suggestions that they begin by searching for 'Capacity planning,' 'load testing', etc with the specifics of their environment. I agree that link-rot is to be avoided, and I have mixed feelings about recommending books (especially when they get to be more than a couple of years old.) | |
| Jan 16, 2012 at 4:02 | comment | added | Mark Henderson Mod | Well, maybe we need a canonical Q/A and the answer is "Hey, check out these resources". We just need to be careful of link rot. | |
| Jan 16, 2012 at 3:58 | comment | added | gWaldo | I'm sure that there are approximately gigs of text on the internet describing people's capacity planning and scaling experiences. "Capacity planning" in Google yields About 17,700,000 results. O'Reilly's "Art of Capacity Planning" shop.oreilly.com/product/9780596518585.do, and a 2002 book called "System Performance Tuning" all come up with easy keyword searches... | |
