Capacity planning and scaling of service-oriented applications implemented using multi-tenant resources

Abstract

A request to perform scalability analysis of a constituent service of an application at a first deployment environment is received. The constituent service is deployed to a plurality of host groups of the deployment environment. A data set which indicates a collection of front end request routers configured to distribute service requests among hosts of a collection of deployment environments including the first deployment environment is obtained. Analysis of the data set is used to identify a resource scaling unit which indicates a set of host groups, including a particular host group of the plurality of host groups, such that individual hosts within the set of host groups have the same estimated workload level as other hosts within the set of host groups. A representation of the resource scaling unit is stored.
