Quick interview answer

At 10× traffic, Chunking Strategies and Embeddings usually hits queueing and CPU/I/O saturation first — mitigate with concurrency limits, batching, caching, and offloading. Use Chunking Strategies and Embeddings as the core idea. Example shape: Markdown by ## headers; 512-token chunks with 64 overlap; bge/e5 embeddings..

Detailed answer

At 10× traffic for Chunking Strategies and Embeddings: 1) Bottleneck shifts from “works on my laptop” to queue delay and resource saturation. 2) Protect the loop/path: timeouts, bulkheads, backpressure, worker offload for CPU work. 3) Scale out carefully: sticky vs stateless, connection pools, cache hit ratio. 4) Prove with load tests that p99 stays inside SLO. Example to cite: Markdown by ## headers; 512-token chunks with 64 overlap; bge/e5 embeddings. Parent context: Use Chunking Strategies and Embeddings as the core idea.
