Evaluating Infrastructure for High-Traffic API

Hello,
We have an API expected to handle traffic between 700K and 1M requests per day. Our current production platform hardware configuration is as follows:

APIGEE Platform: 4.53.0

S.No. Components CPU RAM Storage

1MS, CS ZK816 GB250 GB
2CS ZK816 GB250 GB
3CS ZK816 GB250 GB
4RMP816 GB100 GB
5RMP816 GB100 GB
6QS48 GB50 GB
7QS48 GB50 GB
8PS816 GB500 GB
9PS816 GB500 GB
  1. Can this infrastructure handle the anticipated traffic volume smoothly?
  2. Do you have any recommendations or best practices to ensure integration remains smooth and highly available under such high traffic?

Hi @dchiesa1, your input on the above case would be greatly appreciated!

Hi @Roaa_APIGEE , What is the anticipated TPS for the environment?  where are the apigee VMs deployed ?

Also the best way to understand if the infrastructure is able to API traffic is to run a distributed load test on it and analyze the results. Load testing tool like apache jmeter can be used.
