Applications are often limited by resources in third-party external systems. As an SRE, I want to be able to predict when, and under what conditions, those resources will be exhausted to facilitate pre-emptive remedial actions and appropriate planning. In this talk, I will describe how we use linear regression analysis to generate a predictive model that empowers us to properly plan and size external services, as well as adapting to changes in our application.
