Seven of Pentacles — The Capacity Review

▲ Upright +1

You are looking at the graphs and asking whether this system will survive next quarter's traffic. The Seven of Pentacles is the capacity review done before the crisis — CPU trending up, disk filling slowly, the RDS instance approaching its connection limit. You have time. Use it.

▽ Reversed -1

You skipped the capacity review because nothing was on fire. The Seven of Pentacles reversed is the slow creep you refused to look at — the database that has been at 85% disk for two months and will hit 100% on the busiest day of the year.
