How it works
Given baseline throughput, burst multiplier and duration, the tool computes burst RPS and additional request volume during the spike window.
Formula
burst_rps = baseline_rps * burst_multiplier
extra_requests = (burst_rps - baseline_rps) * duration_secondsUse this to size caches, queues and autoscaling reactions for peak events.
Example
At 200 RPS baseline, 3x multiplier and 120 seconds, burst reaches 600 RPS.
FAQ
Is this useful for Black Friday style events?
Yes, it helps model temporary demand peaks.
Should I include retry storms?
Yes, add additional margin if retry amplification is expected.
Does it include cooldown?
No, this version models burst window only.
