The lilypond file I picked/generated is pretty simple:

\header {
	tagline = ##f
}
\version "2.18.2"
\language "nederlands"
\score {

\relative c' { f d f a }
\layout { }
	\midi {
		\context { \Score tempoWholesPerMinute = #(ly:make-moment 100 4) }
	}

}
\paper {
	indent = 0\mm
}

I started using ab to fire off requests with increasing concurrency, at c = 25 is when pyball depooled once othe k8s nodes so I paused it as I tweak.

Shocking, more replicas increases concurrency.

I need to set up a dashboard so I can monitor pod memory/CPU usage while benchmarking to see how beneficial it will be to increase that.

you can probably use https://grafana.wikimedia.org/d/U7JT--knk/joe-k8s-mwdebug?orgId=1&refresh=1m as a starting point.

thanks! Forked to https://grafana.wikimedia.org/d/RKogW1m7z/shellbox?orgId=1&refresh=1m&from=now-6h&to=now

Note that deployment="$namespace" didn't work for me, I had to switch it to kubernetes_namespace="$namespace"
