Talks: "The Little Lawyer" and "Agreement in Principle"

Rails at Scale is back in 2018! We're looking forward to two great talks this month:

The Little Lawyer: An efficient scaling technique for handling predictable traffic patterns using SumoLogic, Rails, DelayedJob, & Heroku.

Alan Norton, MealPal (https://mealpal.com/)

Why pay for scale you don’t need? MealPal receives in excess of 5000 requests-per-minute between 17:00 and 17:15 ET. At 17:20 ET, that number has dropped by two orders of magnitude, so it’s time to scale down... But, there’s an influx of orders in Sydney, Australia! What ever will we do? How many dynos should we be running right now?

Enter Little’s Law. Let’s do some math!
