Anthropic Load & Scale Overview Capacity planning and load testing for Claude API integrations. Key constraint: your rate limits (RPM/ITPM/OTPM) are the ceiling, not your infrastructure. Capacity Planning Load Testing Script Scaling Strategies | Strategy | When | Implementation | |----------|------|---------------| | Queue-based processing | 50 RPM sustained | Redis/SQS queue + worker pool | | Model routing | Mixed workloads | Haiku for simple, Sonnet for complex | | Message Batches | Offline processing | 100K requests, 50% cheaper, no RPM impact | | Prompt caching | Repeated system prompts |…
