Review this app for /scalability. How will it handle more traffic, meaning more business? Look at how and where it is hosted, and give me options that match the current build.

How do I know my app will work in the wild when customers start to use it?

This skill is about how your application will handle an increase in traffic. More business. It reviews how and where the app is hosted, and gives options that match your current build.

Five things this rule looks for

  1. More customers would mean more traffic, and you do not know what breaks first.
  2. You cannot say how the app is hosted, or where it runs.
  3. The current host fits today, and you have no next option when the business grows.
  4. A busy hour would stack the work in one place, with nowhere for it to go.
  5. The options in front of you do not match the stage the build is actually at.

Here is how you get started. Copy this and drop it into your CLI.
