What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps architects and engineers choose the correct scaling path for a service by clearly distinguishing vertical, horizontal, and partitioning strategies and by surfacing guidance on when to externalize state.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Classify components into Stateless, Stateful Local, and Stateful Shared-Write to determine the scaling approach.
- Provide a structured workflow to decide horizontal, vertical, or partitioned scaling with cost and risk awareness.
- Use during architecture planning, capacity planning, and incident reviews to prevent overprovisioning or underprovisioning.
Quick Start
Describe the component to scale, the observed bottleneck or golden signal, and the axis of growth chosen (horizontal, vertical, or partitioning) to document the plan.
