(Editor’s Note; According to Google Burst capacity refers to a system’s or service’s ability to temporarily exceed its normal, committed limits to handle sudden, short-term spikes in demand, like traffic surges or increased data usage, without failing or slowing down, essentially using “unused” headroom or pre-allocated reserves for a quick performance boost. It allows for flexibility in handling unpredictable loads, common during game launches or sales, preventing service degradation until normal capacity can catch up or scale.
