Scaling Bottleneck Analyzer

Identify and prioritize performance bottlenecks in systems approaching scaling limits.

Updated June 2026
The prompt
Analyze scaling bottlenecks for:

Current metrics: {{current_performance}}
Target scale: {{target_scale}}
Application type: {{app_type}}
Deployment: {{deployment_model}}

Identify:
1. Database bottlenecks (query patterns, connection pooling, replication lag)
2. CPU/memory hot spots in code
3. I/O contention (disk, network)
4. Cache hit rates and invalidation costs
5. Third-party API rate limits
6. Message queue backlog
7. Infrastructure limits (disks, network bandwidth)

For each, provide:
- Root cause analysis
- Quick wins and long-term solutions
- Estimated scaling impact
- Implementation effort

Prioritize by {{priority_metric}}.
