Assessing the Architecture
When assessing your workload architecture to determine what could be improved, the best way to get on the right path, especially if you’re unsure where to start, is to conduct a Well-Architected Review. Before you proceed with it, make sure you have a clear view of the current status of your application.
Understanding Application Growth and Usage Trends
A particularly important aspect of improving reliability is to have a clear picture of your workload usage over time. First, it will help you understand whether its current usage meets your expectations. When you designed the solution initially, you made some architecture decisions based on what you knew at the time about the expected traffic your workload would need to sustain. Now, you should have the actual data to evaluate how good those assumptions were. Second, having a view on the usage growth until now gives you some initial data points to forecast the usage growth for the foreseeable...
