capacity

DE//AGENT currently lists 2 resources under capacity: 2 tutorials. Everything below is derived from the live registry — counts, capabilities, verification state and security posture come from the curated records, never from marketing copy.

Documented learning objectives across these resources:

• Estimate QPS, storage per day, and retention footprint from a workload description — via Run the back-of-envelope drill — numbers before architecture
• Apply peak-versus-average factors instead of quoting averages alone — via Run the back-of-envelope drill — numbers before architecture
• Ground an estimate in a real deployed reference architecture — via Run the back-of-envelope drill — numbers before architecture
• Map a lag symptom to its cause before changing any config — via Production gotchas — the configs and capacities that break streams
• Refuse the destructive shortcuts — offset resets and hand-edited offsets — via Production gotchas — the configs and capacities that break streams
• Size consumers to partitions and fix the sink when lag is uniform — via Production gotchas — the configs and capacities that break streams

These resources map to stages: System Design (1), Streaming (1). Follow the four-phase roadmap to place this topic inside a progression instead of learning it in isolation.

Every entry, its shape and its trust state — sorted by the registry's composite score. This table is the honest version of a marketing comparison: no sponsored placements, no unverifiable claims.

How scores are computed: source quality score.

Highest composite score first:

1. Run the back-of-envelope drill — numbers before architecture score 34.15 — beginner
2. Production gotchas — the configs and capacities that break streams score 34.15 — intermediate

Scores rank provenance, completeness and trust — read how verification works before adopting anything.

Start here if you're new: Run the back-of-envelope drill — numbers before architecture.

• Run the back-of-envelope drill — numbers before architecture — Estimation is the warm-up act of every design conversation: QPS, storage per day, retention, peak factor, all written down before a single box is drawn. This lesson drills the powe… details
• Production gotchas — the configs and capacities that break streams — The five causes of consumer lag on one card, the two destructive shortcuts that must never happen, and the capacity trap of scaling past the partition count. Ends with the alert th… details
