Every post is checked by a moderation model with 30 slots, about 600 ms per post, at 80 posts a second.
Free to open. Runs in your browser, no sign-up.
Success ≥ 99%, p99 ≤ 5 s.
80 requests a second for 30 seconds: 100% request (reads).
What each component does in this design, and what calls it. The simulator mimics each one from these settings.
| Component | Its job here | Settings |
|---|---|---|
| Load balancerLoad balancer | Traffic enters here.Calls AI app.Layer 4 balancers route by IP and port; layer 7 balancers read HTTP and can route by path or header. | – |
| AI appApp service | Load balancer forwards to it.Calls Moderation model.Little's law: throughput ≈ concurrency ÷ latency. 200 slots at 50 ms serve about 4,000 req/s. | 3 replicas × 500 slots · timeout 30 s |
| Moderation modelLLM-as-judge | AI app calls it.An LLM judge grades outputs at scale, but it is another model call with its own latency, cost and biases. | 30 slots |
Try it first. Open one hint at a time if you get stuck.
80 × 0.6 s = 48 in flight.
Find the red card first, then its capacity: slots ÷ seconds per request.
Give the moderation model more capacity.
