- 2Overload the system and check non-critical features turn off first
- 3Turn off the database and see if the homepage still renders
Show the answer
Correct answer: Overload the system and check non-critical features turn off first
Explanation
Degradation is a design decision: drop recommendations, keep checkout. A stress test should confirm which features shed and that core flows stay inside SLOs.
