Open, Needs TriagePublic0 Estimated Story PointsSpike

Description

Question we are trying to answer

  • If we roll out an A/B test on mobile that utilizes MoreLike to make recommendations for treatment users, this will generate a lot of traffic to APIs that aren't currently handling this volume of traffic. There are a few parts to this:
    • What volume of traffic are we expecting? (Web to investigate/determine)
    • Is the current Search Platform infrastructure sufficient for this volume of traffic? (Web to talk to Search Platform about this)
    • If not, what would be necessary to support this, and how long would this take? (Search Platform to weigh in on this, document the results here)

Acceptance Criteria

  • We have gotten good estimates of potential traffic volume based on relevant page view data
  • We have met with Search platform to discuss this and the implications thereof
  • We have documented the outcome of this sync and have an idea of what might be necessary to make this work
