    aws should be easy

  • build and scale systems with artificial load on aws! scaling the load testing will be just as interesting as scaling the system under test.

    start with low bottlenecks, ie a cluster of c6i.large ec2 spot. how fast can you do this? have fast can you scale that? ec2 and s3 is all you need to build anything.

    use ec2 spot, avoid network egress, avoid cross region/zone traffic, create and destroy ec2 instances as needed instead of letting them sit idle. you could grow system scaling intution for the price of your streaming subscriptions.

    start with something like this:

    maybe mess around with public datasets on aws, just make sure to be in the correct region to avoid data egress.

    welcome systems friend. one accurate measurement is worth a thousand expert opinions. scaling is fun!
