What is Matt seeking to do to handle increased workload during a major event?

Matt is focused on addressing increased workload during a major event, which typically involves a surge in concurrent users or transactions. Adding capacity to a web server farm directly enhances the ability to handle more requests by distributing the workload among additional servers. This approach helps to ensure the application remains responsive and available, even under high traffic conditions.

While enhancing storage and increasing bandwidth could potentially support better performance, they do not directly address the immediate need to manage increased requests to the web servers. Installing new software may not be a timely solution, as it could require additional training or adjustments, which might not be feasible during an event that demands instant scalability. Thus, expanding the capacity of the web server farm is the most direct and effective method for ensuring the infrastructure can manage the anticipated increase in workload.
