Again, when the users of this app are just 3 admins, over basic metrics from ArcGIS Monitor, I dont need to deviate from their recommended, tune, or much of anything.

This isnt some high throughput app where every IOPS matters.

And in my experiences, most apps that need a database arent serving 1000's of people per hour. Most are fine with a few users per hour.

The whole "scale to scale cause youre 1 minute away from HN hug of death" is just wishful thinking a budget bloat from the hyperscalers selling 'butwhatifs'. Ive called AWS to task on their 5 pillars crap, which basically says "pay double for redundancy". Gee, I wonder why AWS would recommend customers to pay double (eyeroll).
