## Repair

- Refactored by: Optimize Resources, Prepare Horizontal Scale
- Detected by: resource saturation trends
- Violated by: relying only on vertical scale past ceiling
- Measured by: utilization/headroom
- Enforced by: [capacity planning](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/capacity-planning.md)

## requires
