Claim Text:
1. A method comprising: generating, via at least one of one or more computing devices, throughput data representative of quantities of transactions processed over a period of time, wherein the transactions are processed by a service operating on hardware, wherein the service comprises a set of instructions that execute to perform computational tasks; accessing expense data representative of an expense associated with the hardware; generating, via at least one of the one or more computing devices, hardware cost metric data indicative of a first cost associated with a performance of the hardware, wherein the hardware cost metric data is generated based on the expense data and the throughput data; accessing threshold data indicative of a second cost, the second cost comprising an optimal cost associated with the performance of the hardware based on at least one of the hardware cost metric data reaching a threshold capacity; accessing prediction data indicative of a predicted quantity of transactions to be processed by the service; generating predicted hardware cost metric data indicative of a third cost comprising a predicted cost associated with the performance of the hardware, wherein: generating, via at least one of the one or more computing devices, optimization data indicative of an amount of the hardware that changes the first cost to the second cost, wherein the optimization data is generated based on the predicted hardware cost metric data and the threshold data.
