Run both. Benchmark them. Performance is notoriously difficult to predict and much easier to test. If you have a load balancer, run the new strategy on one or two servers and see how their throughput compares to the others.

Exactly! It got so easy nowadays to use AI to setup scenarios since the busy work of writing code/test harnesses and setting things up for the benchmark is done by the machine. Then throw away what does not work.

Some benchmark that would take weeks to plan, code and set up is now hours and days - the time is now spent on the benchmark itself, not on temporary code.

Seriously its easy to build prototypes with AI and benchmark...

It's not quite as easy to simulate weird behaviors that emerge across clouds and on prem data centers.

I don’t know where all these people work that think simulating production load is easy

Not an AI defender but this doesn't sound all that different than before where people were just arguing for their understanding of the issue. No one knows everything and has perfect alignment with reality. I'm with the other guy who responded, test it, else y'all just guessing and arguing who's better at guessing.

honestly sounds like you have too many unqualified employees. best case scenario though, they all come out of this having learned a little bit more.
