In practice

Education

Paying for exam week all year

The situation

An assessment platform serves forty institutions from a monolith on two large virtual machines. On an ordinary Tuesday it is almost idle. During an exam window it carries thirty times that load, and the grading run afterwards saturates everything for an hour. The machines are sized for the worst hour of the year, so the platform pays for exam week fifty-two weeks a year - and still degrades during it, because the bottleneck is one process that cannot use the second machine.

How it is approached

The monolith is split along load profile rather than along org chart: sitting an exam, submitting, and grading have completely different shapes, and only the last is bursty. Grading moves to serverless, where an hour of heavy parallel work costs an hour. The steady-state services run in containers with autoscaling tied to the academic timetable, which is known months ahead and is a better signal than CPU. Tenancy is made explicit so one institution's exam window cannot affect another's.

What changes

Capacity follows the timetable instead of the annual peak, and the platform stops being least reliable at the only moment its customers cannot tolerate failure.
