Applications with low efficiency, high latency, instability under load, or excessive resource consumption, which increase operating costs and compromise the user experience.
Incorrectly sized environments that waste money or crash at critical moments. Lack of predictability, cloud cost overruns, improvised scalability, and risks of unavailability due to resource saturation.
Systems that fail, crash, or degrade when the real load appears. Ruined launches, campaign instability, costly incidents, and poor visibility into application behavior under pressure.
