Lesson 144 of 175 · 3 min

Run an existing flow against TEN TIMES the data, find the FIRST thing that breaks, and fix it BY DESIGN rather than by configuration. "The first thing" is deliberate. A volume test does not find one problem, it finds a queue of them — and the useful discipline is to fix them one at a time, in the order the flow meets them, because each fix changes where the next bottleneck is. MEASURE BEFORE YOU START, per Lesson 1. Run at current volume and record the per-step timings. Without that baseline, "it got slower" has no denominator and you cannot tell a linear cost from one that is getting worse faster than the data grows. THEN TEN TIMES THE DATA, AND EXPECT ONE OF THE THREE FROM LESSON 7. It runs too long. It exceeds a size limit. It meets a record shape the test set never contained. Note which
