Anthropic Load & Scale

Overview

Scale Claude usage for high-throughput applications. Covers four strategies: Message Batches (10K requests, 50% off, no rate limits), request queues with concurrency control via p-limit, tier upgrades (Tier 1-4 + Scale), and model selection for throughput (Haiku is 3-4x faster than Sonnet).

Scaling Strategies

Instructions

Step 1: Message Batches (Best for Bulk)

// 10K requests per batch, 50% cheaper, no rate limits
const batch = await client.messages.batches.create({
  requests: items.map((item, i) => ({
    custom_id: `${i}`,
    params: { model: 'claude-sonnet-4-20250514', max_tokens: 1024, messages: [{ role: 'user', content: item }] },
  })),
});
// Process up to 100 concurrent batches

Step 2: Request Queue with Concurrency Control

import pLimit from 'p-limit';

// Match your rate limit tier
const limit = pLimit(10); // 10 concurrent requests

const results = await Promise.all(
  inputs.map(input =>
    limit(() => client.messages.({
      : ,
      : ,
      : [{ : , : input }],
    }))
  )
);
