So I am attempting to understand Queueing Theory that is more advanced than Little's Law and of course came across Defunctland's history of Disney's FastPass. I had a big guffaw when they showed an excerpt of a M/M/1 paper, scoffed at how you'd have to hire an engineering team "just to get to the bottom of this incredibly niche curiosity..." and then they do just that. So great.

I troubleshot a tricky-to-observe scaling issue in a SaaS stack and built a computational queueing model to demonstrate its effects (~1400w)

brb, going through the math on #QueueingTheory to demonstrate why this is a terrible idea at work…
