Redacting every agent step

Every agent step passes through a PII redactor that handles 2 calls at a time, about 40 ms each.

Your goals

Success ≥ 95% of tasks, p99 ≤ 90 s.

The traffic

10 requests a second for 45 seconds: 100% task (writes).

The system

What each component does in this design, and what calls it. The simulator mimics each one from these settings.

Hints

Try it first. Open one hint at a time if you get stuck.

Hint 1

Redactions a second = tasks × steps.

Hint 2

2 ÷ 0.04 s = 50 a second.

One way to solve it

Give the PII redactor more capacity.
