Inputs to gather first

system architecture
traffic patterns
performance requirements

Recommended workflow

Step 1: Analyze production traffic patterns
Step 2: Identify critical user journeys
Step 3: Design realistic load scenarios
Step 4: Configure comprehensive monitoring
Step 5: Execute and analyze results
Step 6: Identify and prioritize bottlenecks
