Launch Readiness

Launch Readiness: Load Testing and Spend Caps on AWS

Before a launch post, a press hit or a demo day, we find what breaks first under load, fix it, and put caps on what can run away. You go into the day knowing your limits, with someone watching the dashboards.

1–2 weeks

$5k–$15k

Overview

A launch concentrates months of traffic into hours. The weakest part of the stack fails first, usually the database connections, a quota nobody raised, or an AI endpoint with no per-user limit. We test for it the week before rather than learning it in front of everyone.

What we do

Find

  • Map the launch-day path and the services behind each step

  • Check every quota and concurrency limit on that path, and the ones at your providers

  • Load-test at several times the traffic you expect, from outside AWS

Fix

  • Raise limits, add pooling, cache what can be cached, queue what can wait

  • Per-user and per-IP limits on sign-up and anything that costs money per call

  • Budgets and alarms that page someone, plus a kill switch for the expensive features

Deliverables

  • The load test, rerunnable from your repository

  • Fixes merged, with before and after numbers

  • The launch-day plan and dashboards
