Get ready for a launch

Before a launch or a press day: find the first thing that will break under load, set sensible autoscaling and caps, and rehearse the rollback.

When to use it

You are about to post on a big channel, run a campaign or onboard a large customer, and the current setup has never seen that traffic.

Start it with one prompt.

Paste it into Claude Code, Claude Desktop or Cursor once Kapten is connected. Replace the names with yours; Kapten asks for anything it cannot infer.

We launch on Tuesday and expect 20× our usual traffic. Find what breaks first, set autoscaling and make sure we can roll back fast.
Simulated run

  1. You ask

    › We launch on Tuesday and expect 20× our usual traffic. Find what breaks first, set autoscaling and make sure we can roll back fast.

  2. Stage 1 · 2 agents in parallel

    • NavigatorArchitecture

      Find the bottlenecks

      Connection limits, single replicas, synchronous calls to slow dependencies and cold starts.

    • LookoutObservability & incidents

      Read the baseline

      Today’s latency, saturation and error rate, so the launch has something to be compared with.

  3. Stage 2 · 2 agents in parallel

    • BosunInfrastructure

      Plan the capacity

      Autoscaling bounds, node pool headroom and database connection pooling.

    • PurserCost

      Cap the spend

      An upper bound for launch week, so success does not arrive as a surprise bill.

  4. Gate 01 · stops for your approval

    Approve the capacity and budget plan

  5. Stage 3

    • HelmsmanReleases

      Rehearse the rollback

      Rolls a release forward and back on staging and times it.

  6. You get

    • A bottleneck list with fixes
    • Autoscaling and budget caps applied
    • A timed rollback rehearsal
    • A launch-day watch list
