I'd like this to be honest (from an infrastructure point of view). If the time is known for an influx of traffic I can prepare for that.

I currently look after a system which gets random spikes of traffic thats critical to serve. Which means I more or less need to run a huge amount of redundant servers 24 hours a day incase there is a spike at 2am.

We have horizontal scaling but our traffic has little lead time.
