We started seeing signs of scale issues, like: Slowness during peak traffic moments like 12 AM UTC, leading to increased operational burden. At Netflix, the peak traffic load can be a few orders of magnitude higher than the average load. Hence, the system has to withstand bursts in traffic while still maintaining the SLO requirements.
