Elasticity / Warm-Up Latency

Kind: tension

Record: tension:elasticity-warm-up-latency

Canonical: Schema

"elasticity" (performance-core layer) is traded against "Warm-Up Latency" (performance-core layer) — a principle cannot be scope-separated from a quality, metric, or cost it competes with; resolve by measuring "Warm-Up Latency" and choosing an explicit operating point.

Listed in Tensions, after Vertical Scaling / Cost/Limit and before Load Balancing / Session Affinity.
