Scaling Considerations
AWS scales to any size. Start simple with managed services, add complexity only as needed. Consider serverless for variable workloads, containers for consistent workloads.
Security Considerations
Enable GuardDuty, configure Security Hub, implement WAF, use Secrets Manager, enable CloudTrail, implement proper encryption at rest and in transit.
Performance Optimization
Use CloudFront for static assets, implement proper caching, right-size instances with Compute Optimizer, use Reserved Instances or Savings Plans.
Success Story
Series A SaaS spending $45K/month on AWS
Challenge
AWS costs growing faster than revenue. No visibility into cost drivers. Infrastructure unreliable with frequent outages.

Fractional CTO audited architecture, implemented right-sizing, restructured to use Reserved Instances, added proper monitoring and auto-scaling.
