# Resource Constraints Assessment Analysis - Phase 1
## šÆ Task Scope Understanding
### Primary Objective
Determine precise server resource requirements and deployment constraints for ECCComposerMCP browser automation to inform architectural decisions and scalability planning.
### Critical Success Factors
- Define minimum and recommended server specifications
- Establish browser automation resource patterns
- Identify deployment architecture constraints
- Create resource monitoring and alerting strategy
## š Technical Analysis
### 1. Browser Automation Resource Requirements
#### Chromium Instance Analysis
**Base Resource Consumption**:
- **Memory per instance**: 100-200MB typical, up to 500MB with complex content
- **CPU overhead**: 10-15% per active instance (baseline)
- **GPU acceleration**: Optional but recommended for video content
- **Disk I/O**: Moderate for cache, high during initial startup
**Resource Scaling Patterns**:
```
Single User Session:
āāā Browser startup: ~150MB memory, 2-3 seconds CPU spike
āāā Navigation: ~50MB additional per complex page
āāā DOM manipulation: ~25MB for large compositions
āāā Cleanup: Full memory release (if properly handled)
Concurrent Sessions (N users):
āāā Memory: N Ć (150MB base + 75MB average content)
āāā CPU: N Ć 10% + startup spikes
āāā Network: N Ć bandwidth per session
āāā File handles: N Ć 50-100 open handles
```
#### Resource Bottlenecks Identified
1. **Memory Leaks**: Current implementation lacks cleanup strategies
2. **Startup Overhead**: Fresh browser instances for each operation
3. **No Instance Pooling**: Linear scaling without optimization
4. **Session Management**: No connection limits or queuing
### 2. Server Environment Constraints Analysis
#### Minimum Specifications (Single User)
```yaml
CPU: 2 cores (2.0GHz+)
Memory: 4GB RAM
Storage: 20GB SSD (browser cache + application)
Network: 10Mbps stable connection
OS: Linux/Ubuntu 20.04+ or containerized environment
```
#### Recommended Specifications (5-10 Concurrent Users)
```yaml
CPU: 4-8 cores (2.5GHz+)
Memory: 8-16GB RAM
Storage: 50GB SSD NVMe
Network: 50Mbps with low latency (<50ms to EuConquisto)
OS: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS with Docker support
Additional: Dedicated GPU for video processing (optional)
```
#### Production-Scale Specifications (25+ Concurrent Users)
```yaml
CPU: 16+ cores (3.0GHz+) or multi-instance deployment
Memory: 32GB+ RAM with monitoring
Storage: 100GB+ SSD with backup
Network: 100Mbps+ with redundancy
Load Balancer: Required for distribution
Monitoring: Comprehensive resource tracking
```
### 3. Deployment Architecture Constraints
#### Containerization Requirements
**Docker Configuration**:
```dockerfile
# Resource limits needed
memory: 2GB per container instance
cpu: 1.5 cores per container
shared_memory: 2GB (for browser automation)
```
**Kubernetes Scaling**:
- **Horizontal Pod Autoscaler**: CPU > 70% or Memory > 80%
- **Resource Quotas**: Prevent resource exhaustion
- **Node Affinity**: Browser automation on dedicated nodes
#### Environment-Specific Constraints
1. **Cloud Providers**:
- AWS: t3.large minimum, c5.xlarge recommended
- GCP: n1-standard-2 minimum, n1-standard-4 recommended
- Azure: Standard_D2s_v3 minimum, Standard_D4s_v3 recommended
2. **On-Premises**:
- Physical hardware with dedicated resources
- Network isolation for security
- Backup power and cooling considerations
### 4. Performance Targets & Thresholds
#### Response Time Targets
```yaml
Composition Creation: <30 seconds (95th percentile)
Browser Startup: <5 seconds
DOM Navigation: <10 seconds
Error Recovery: <15 seconds
Session Cleanup: <3 seconds
```
#### Resource Usage Thresholds
```yaml
Memory Utilization: <80% sustained
CPU Utilization: <75% average, <90% peak
Disk I/O: <70% sustained
Network Bandwidth: <60% sustained
Browser Instances: Max 10 per server without optimization
```
#### Monitoring Requirements
- **Real-time**: CPU, memory, active browser instances
- **Application**: Request rates, success rates, error rates
- **Business**: Composition creation times, user satisfaction
- **Alerting**: Threshold breaches, failed deployments, resource exhaustion
## š§ Current Implementation Gaps
### Critical Issues Identified
1. **No Resource Pooling**: Fresh browser instance per operation
2. **Memory Leak Risk**: Missing cleanup in error scenarios
3. **No Concurrency Limits**: Unlimited concurrent operations
4. **Missing Monitoring**: No resource usage tracking
5. **Single Point of Failure**: No load distribution
### Immediate Fixes Required
```javascript
// Example resource pooling needed
class BrowserPool {
maxInstances: 5,
idleTimeout: 300000, // 5 minutes
cleanup: automatic,
healthCheck: enabled
}
```
## š Phase 2 Implementation Plan
### Deliverables Defined
1. **Resource Requirements Document**
- Server specifications matrix (min/recommended/production)
- Container resource allocation guidelines
- Cloud provider sizing recommendations
2. **Browser Automation Architecture**
- Instance pooling implementation
- Resource cleanup strategies
- Connection queuing system
- Health monitoring integration
3. **Deployment Architecture**
- Containerization strategy (Docker/Kubernetes)
- Auto-scaling policies and triggers
- Load balancing configuration
- Monitoring and alerting setup
4. **Performance Optimization Plan**
- Resource usage optimization
- Caching strategies
- Connection management
- Error recovery mechanisms
### Implementation Priorities
**Phase 2A (Week 1)**: Resource pooling and cleanup
**Phase 2B (Week 2)**: Monitoring and alerting
**Phase 2C (Week 3)**: Containerization and deployment
**Phase 2D (Week 4)**: Performance optimization and testing
## šÆ Success Criteria for Phase 2
### Technical Deliverables
- [ ] Complete resource requirements documentation
- [ ] Browser automation architecture design
- [ ] Deployment strategy with container specifications
- [ ] Monitoring and alerting framework design
### Validation Criteria
- [ ] Resource calculations validated against current usage
- [ ] Architecture supports 10+ concurrent users
- [ ] Deployment strategy tested in staging environment
- [ ] Performance targets achievable with proposed architecture
## š Dependencies and Blocking Factors
### Upstream Dependencies
- Current browser automation analysis (completed by Claude Code)
- Server environment specifications (to be confirmed)
- Business user volume projections (feeds into TASK-004)
### Downstream Impact
- **TASK-004**: User volume projections depend on resource capacity
- **TASK-005**: Testing strategy needs resource allocation
- **TASK-006**: Production deployment needs resource architecture
## š Risk Assessment
### High Risk Areas
1. **Resource Underestimation**: Browser automation memory usage variability
2. **Scalability Limits**: Chromium instance management complexity
3. **Cost Escalation**: Cloud resource pricing for sustained usage
4. **Performance Degradation**: Resource contention under load
### Mitigation Strategies
- Conservative resource estimation with 25% buffer
- Comprehensive testing under realistic load conditions
- Cost monitoring and budget alerting
- Performance testing with gradual load increase
