Analyze System Architecture & Network Diagrams for Scalability
Objective:
– Analyze existing system architecture and network diagrams for scalability bottlenecks.
– Identify performance limitations, potential single points of failure, and areas for optimization.
– Inform infrastructure upgrades, re-architecture decisions, and future growth planning.
Description
Expected Inputs:
– [Tech_Platform_Name: e.g., Online Gaming Platform, Financial Trading System, Large-scale E-commerce Website, IoT Data Ingestion]
– [Current_User_Load: e.g., 100K concurrent users, 1M transactions/day, 10TB data ingestion/hour]
– [Documentation_Reviewed: e.g., Architecture diagrams, Network topology, Data flow diagrams, Capacity planning reports, Load test results]
– [Key_Metrics_to_Analyze: e.g., Latency, Throughput, Resource utilization (CPU, memory, disk I/O, network bandwidth), Response times under load, Error rates, Database connection pools, Queue depths]
– [Desired_Outcome_of_Analysis: e.g., Identify top 3 scalability bottlenecks, Recommendations for architectural refactoring, Support 2x user growth, Reduce system latency by 10%]
Results:
– A report summarizing scalability limitations, performance bottlenecks, and single points of failure.
– Detailed analysis of component interactions, data flow, and resource consumption under load.
– Identification of areas requiring horizontal or vertical scaling, caching, or database optimization.
– Recommendations for architectural changes, infrastructure upgrades, network design improvements, or performance tuning.
– Projections of increased capacity or improved performance from proposed changes.
