The tradeoff: AIMD is reactive rather than predictive, so it responds to load changes rather than anticipating them. For bursty workloads with predictable patterns, ML-based prediction might provision capacity faster. But for unpredictable workloads or systems where prediction accuracy is low, AIMD's simplicity and guaranteed stability are compelling.

Bournassenko's queueing theory framework provides the analytical foundation for why queue-state-based scaling works: M/M/c models give closed-form solutions for optimal worker counts based on observed arrival rates and queue depths, eliminating the need for predictive models.

More generally: λ = average sources per second, W = average extraction time. Total workers needed ≥ λ × W gives the minimum worker floor. Additional capacity rules (like square-root staffing) provide the safety margin above that floor.

Bournassenko's M/M/c framework extends Little's Law by providing closed-form solutions for the buffer margin required. While Little's Law gives the minimum capacity floor (L = λW), M/M/c queues quantify how much additional capacity is needed to handle variance, showing that the safety margin grows sublinearly with system size.

The paper demonstrates this principle specifically for CI/CD pipelines, showing that M/M/c models reveal diminishing returns to worker scaling where marginal improvement of worker N+1 decreases as N grows, confirming the sublinear safety margin growth.

Key insight: M/M/c queues show that adding workers has diminishing returns — the marginal improvement of worker N+1 decreases as N grows. This means there's an optimal worker count beyond which additional workers waste compute without meaningfully reducing queue wait times.
