couchbase-sizinglisted

Size Couchbase clusters, plan capacity, and pick the right Capella tier. Use whenever the user asks about sizing, capacity planning, RAM quota, working set, replicas, node count, scale up vs scale out, how much memory / disk / network is needed, Capella tier selection, GSI / FTS / vector index memory, eventing memory budget, or 'will this fit.' Triggers on numerical planning questions distinct from the couchbase-mcp skill (which operates an existing cluster) and the couchbase-data-modeling skill (which designs document shape). Use proactively for: planning a new deployment, deciding whether to scale up or out, right-sizing a Capella tier, estimating storage growth, planning for burst load, sizing for vector search, calculating XDCR bandwidth, deciding replica count, planning multi-service node mix, estimating eventing memory footprint, and any question that starts with 'how much' or 'how many nodes.'

# Couchbase sizing & capacity planning A skill for *numerical* planning of Couchbase deployments. Companion to `couchbase-mcp` (which operates clusters) and `couchbase-data-modeling` (which designs the data shape) — this skill answers "how much" and "how many." ## When this skill applies Use this skill whenever the conversation involves estimating resources or capacity: - "How much RAM do I need?" - "How many nodes for X documents?" - "Which Capella tier should I use?" - "Will this fit in 32 GB?" - "Should I scale up or scale out?" - "How big will the index be?" - "What replica count?" - "Sizing for vector search" - "How much XDCR bandwidth" - "Capacity for next year's growth" If the conversation is about *what* to store (modeling), use `couchbase-data-modeling`. If it's about *how to* operate (calling tools), use `couchbase-mcp`. This skill is purely about resource math. ## Pick the right reference | Question | Read | |---|---| | "How much RAM / what's the working set?" | `references/memory.md` | | "How many nodes? What replica count?" | `references/nodes.md` | | "How much disk / storage?" | `references/disk.md` | | "Network bandwidth, XDCR throughput?" | `references/network.md` | | "How big will the GSI / FTS / vector index be?" | `references/indexes.md` | | "Which Capella tier?" | `references/capella.md` | | "Read-heavy vs write-heavy vs vector vs time-series sizing?" | `references/workload-shapes.md` | ## What you need from the user before sizing anything Sizing
