QUESTION

Is the 400 transactions per second rate adequate for NYC schools' remote learning needs?

The 400 transactions per second (TPS) rate has been sufficient in the past, but for additional remote learning days, it is not adequate.

  • Vanessa Hunt from IBM confirms the 400 TPS rate has previously met demand but highlights the dynamic nature of the workload due to the expansion of remote learning.
  • The Department of Education (DOE) expands its remote learning offerings, impacting transaction volumes.
  • On high-demand days, the system has scaled up to 1400 TPS to accommodate up to a million users.
  • For future planning, an auto-scaling solution is necessary to meet the variable demands of remote learning.

we had talked before you had a bunch of testing about the 400 transactions per second.
1:45:03
Do you think that is adequate for the current school population and given the amount of remote learning happening, do you think that is an adequate number for a contract?
Vanessa Hunt
1:45:12
It's an interesting question.
1:45:14
It certainly has been adequate many times.
1:45:19
We have seen that volume change depending on a number of things as DOE expands their remote learning portfolio, which is great.
1:45:28
They're offering more services the parents and teachers can take advantage of online.
1:45:32
That of course changes the workload.
1:45:34
Mhmm.
1:45:35
So we can do our best to try to make sure that that workload is this efficient as possible.
1:45:40
They have run at 400 TPS in the past.
1:45:42
They've also run at 1400.
1:45:44
The issue really becomes a day like that where you try to get a million people on in a Right.
1:45:50
Very short window.
1:45:52
So I think that if we are going to plan for additional remote learning days where that is the plan, then absolutely not 400.
1:45:58
TPS is not adequate, and we would need to move to that auto scaling solution.
Shekar Krishnan
1:46:03
Right.
1:46:03
And that that's really what I was getting to as well was, you know, understanding that 400 GPS works on some days, and then it's gonna need to be adjusted based on other days.
