This document analyzes performance characteristics and scalability considerations for the Summary Bot NG project. It covers expected load patterns, performance bottlenecks, scaling strategies, and optimization techniques for each component of the system.
- Peak Usage: Weekdays 9 AM - 6 PM in user timezones
- Geographic Distribution: Global user base with varying peak times
- Seasonal Variations: Higher usage during business quarters, lower during holidays
- Growth Pattern: Exponential growth typical for Discord bots (10x user growth in first year)
