I’m working on a load test for a SaaS application and I’m trying to figure out how to turn expected traffic into a realistic number of concurrent users.

The customer has a large user base, but obviously that doesn’t mean everyone will be using the application at the same time. I’m not sure whether I should be looking at average traffic, peak traffic, active sessions, or some combination of those when setting the test target.

I’ve gotten a few different answers so far, so I’m curious how other teams usually approach this. Is there a standard way to estimate concurrent users when you don’t have much historical data to work with?

I’m the marketing manager at a startup and I’ve spent the last six months building an AI content engine. Now that I’ve gotten it working I realized that I forgot to think about the performance layer. I literally have no way of knowing if any of our content is working, which is embarrassing to say out loud but this is my first job out of college so let’s pretend that’s a valid excuse haha.

So now I’m in a situation where I’ve increased our content output by 10X, but when my CEO wants to know how AI-generated content is performing when it comes to new signups and revenue, I don’t really have an answer.

What other tools should I add to my stack that will help me measure content performance?

been using microsoft autopilot and intune for a while now, and the setup experience for employees is honestly pretty smooth. the part that still takes up most of our time is everything that happens before the devices like laptop ever gets to them, we still have to figure out where to source a device, make sure its the right model and keyboard layout, coordinate shipping, deal with customs if its going overseas, and keep our asset records accurate. then when someone leaves, we go through the whole collection and redistribution process again.

autopilot has definitely reduced the work involved in provisioning, but it hasnt really made the logistics any easier for us, curious how other IT teams are handling this. have you found a way to streamline the physical side of the process, or is everyone still stitching it together with different vendors and internal workflows??

my 1st account got banned, after 24hrs i create a new one. a few hours later, that one got banned too. now im starting to think it's not the account itself. could it be my phone or my IP? has anyone else had this happen? what ended up fixing it? is it really this difficult to make new IG account now??

I’m a solo founder at an early stage startup, and have been having no luck with old school email templates with a few fields. I’d like something a bit more customized.

The company is so new I’m still in the process of evaluating CRMs and I’m wondering if there’s one out there that can create more personalized email sequences. I’d also love to have a built-in AI feature inside the CRM that can draft emails based on what was said in prior email threads or based on information that’s logged in the CRM record.

Does this exist yet? Or is anyone building a CRM with this ability? Happy to beta test it if you are.

I'm the Partnerships Manager at our b2b SaaS company and I'm having a really tough time managing our network of agency partners. Our current CRM classifies everything as either a “contract” or a “deal” and doesn’t really capture the intricacies of the relationship like tier status, co-sell activity, or commission structures. Is there anything out there that we can implement without a full platform rebuild? I know some of the bigger names can handle this, but I don’t really have the time to start from scratch building this out.

I’m expecting my first child in three months and have been a long time lurker of this sub for all of the tips and advice I’m going to need. Right now I need help settling a debate between me and my husband over a diaper bag.

Basically, I bought a JoolBaby Relay diaper backpack a few weeks ago at Walmart but when I showed it to my husband he said he thinks we should use one of his old raggety backpacks instead. He keeps joking that he wants me to return it which I am OBVIOUSLY not going to do but for the sake of humoring him I said I’d ask Reddit what they think I should do (knowing full well you’d prove me right and settle the debate once and for all haha).

He said that a backpack will be the best option for us because we can use it for years after the baby is older and we don’t need a diaper bag anymore. What I don’t think he is considering is that when you use a backpack it’s much harder to find things because it doesn’t always come with compartments that you can organise. Like the one that I got has compartments for bottles, a pump, changing pad, and a side pocket for quick access to wipes. I just don’t think he understands how many times you’re going to want something FAST. Like if the baby spits up or has a blowout.

I know he is probably just trying to save us some money but its not like I spent a hundred dollars on some designer bag. It was literally 30 dollars lol. Plus, I can see us using this way after we need a diaper bag as it’s giving backpack vibes anyway. I personally can always use a bag with compartments.

So… what do you guys think??

Been using emulators and a small phone farm setup for a while to handle multiple profiles, but lately it’s been more annoying than helpful. Emulators break after updates and the phone setup always needs something fixed. Feels like I’m spending more time maintaining it than actually using it. Wondering what are you guys using these days that’s simpler and more stable?

Started planning our first Branson vacation and wow everything adds up quick 😂

At first I thought it was just gonna be Silver Dollar City and a hotel, but now the kids want to do the aquarium, mountain coasters, maybe a show, and suddenly I’ve got 20 tabs open trying to compare prices.

Our rough plan right now is:

• Day 1: arrive + explore the Strip
• Day 2: Silver Dollar City all day
• Day 3: aquarium, mountain coaster, maybe a dinner show
• Day 4: Table Rock Lake before heading home

The problem is every attraction seems to need separate tickets and I can’t tell if staying near the Strip is actually worth paying more for or if we should stay farther out and save money. Parking fees and show prices are starting to sneak up too.

Curious what everyone else did. Did you book one of those Branson vacation packages or just book everything separately? Trying to figure out what actually saves money and what’s just marketing.

We're 18 people and running EOS mostly through spreadsheets. It works, but it's messy. I looked at a few dedicated EOS tools, but most feel like overkill for where we are. I don't need some massive platform. I just need people to update their stuff once a week without me babysitting it. Is software actually the answer here, or am I just overcomplicating this?

I've used a few different robots now, and idealy, I wanted to just leave them be instead of watching over them whenever they work. That was ultimately what I had hoped for so I can run off and do errands, or even drink my coffee in peace.

But the truth is, the Luba powers through tall grass fine, but its super heavy. If the yard is even a little damp or uneven, those wheels just dig trenches. So I need to monitor it so it doesnt do any sharp turns which make the situation worse. I run into a similar situation with my Worx, though it is slightly better.

Yarbo is my third attempt. I know it is a bit excessive, but I am really trying to automate the lawnmowing, since it is definetly not on my list of favorite chores to do. I still find myself watching it just to make sure it doesnt do something silly, and Im realizing that the power of the motor matters.

This 2*300W motor sets it apart and make it an actual industrial tool. With the motor, it can chew through denser patches without the blade getting stuck, showing an error message which I had gotten every so often.

Obviously, its not a magic fix for everything, and you still have to manage its path, and it is still a bit difficult to clean especialy after mowing on wet days. Having that actual power overhead makes a big difference in whether your fixing it mid-route every single time or every now and then.

Just moved to Swansea and need a decent physio for a recurring back issue. Ideally someone who actually gets to the root of the problem rather than just treating it quickly and sending you off with exercises.

Not really sure what’s good locally yet so just after honest recommendations from people who’ve actually been and got results.

FTM here and I’m giving my newborn's tiny nursery a little makeover with just a crib, storage for clothes and a changing table in it. We bought a rocking chair but removed it later on because we are trying to maximize the space without making it cramped. We also bought a smallish trash can with a lid but the problem is, it's kinda bulky for a small space. It's also ugly and it always gets my attention every time I enter the room, and NOT in a good way. I am planning to replace it with a nice diaper pail. I’d like something that's a little more aesthetic, hoping you guys can recommend something.

I’ve been following my program strictly for 12 weeks, but lately, my performance is cratering. I’m tired, my joints ache, and I’m losing motivation.

I’ve seen a lot of talk lately about "Strain vs. Recovery" and using devices like WHOOP or Oura to dictate training intensity instead of just following a calendar. Does anyone here actually let their data tell them when to stay in bed? Or do you just push through the "Red" days? I’m trying to figure out if I need a better coach or just better data.

Most of our budget is allocated to acquiring new customers, but I believe we are missing opportunities in retention. What kind of creative assets are you showing to people who have already made a purchase?

Do you show them the same products, or do you develop specific content for cross-selling that feels helpful rather than intrusive?
