This sounds like a good idea a software engineer came up with, while his QA and DevOps colleagues are both amused in horrified.
Your script is probably going to work 85 to 90% of the time, optimistically, 5% of the time it will do nothing, and another 5% of the time it will cause mass outages, and a massive loss of profits.
It's better to over allocate resources, let's say you run an e-commerce platform that makes about 30 million a year. Right now you're spending $10,000 per servers per month, and in a typical month you really only need to spend $7,000. But a new product just went viral and it's totally selling out. Does it feel like a good idea to lose millions of dollars to try to save a few thousand bucks ?
