Add section on When to scale

Open ozgune opened this issue 8 years ago • 2 comments

This came up in a conversation with @marcocitus and I'm opening an issue to capture it.

One of the questions we frequently hear from users is, "When is the right time to scale?" We've been internally using heuristics to inform users and we informally captured them in our multi-tenant database webcast: https://www.citusdata.com/blog/2016/11/07/video-and-slides-scaling-your-saas-database/

Slides 5-10 have a rough overview of heuristics we communicate to users. It would be helpful to add a section to our documentation that captures these heuristics.

We have sections about initial production sizing, and also instructions for scaling on Cloud, but still no real discussion of when. So I believe this issue is still relevant.

Dropping the relevant slides here to preserve the linked page.
