Yes, planning is always there. I was saying that this sudden increase in the traffic should not cause major issues. Most likely several SREs have emergency meetings, and get quotas across places. Then it's done. If you read my post above, you'll notice that I did not mention SREs. I was saying app developers do not care planning. Of course, some app developers thought they were doing planning, as in some activity to estimate demands, etc. That, in Google infrastructure engineering, is not considered capacity planning. The typical capacity planning is done by SRE with more procedures that certainly border the most curious developers.
