Cloud Architecture Design for Growing Applications
Cloud architecture design decides how environments are separated, how much capacity peak load needs and where data and backups sit. The result is written down before any server is built.
Signs that an environment grew unplanned
- Servers were added one at a time, each for a separate problem
- No diagram shows how the pieces depend on one another
- Development, testing and production differ from one another
- Nobody at the company can explain why one server exists
Decisions the review settles
What you hold at the end
Frequently asked questions
Do we need an architecture review, or can a provider set up servers?
A provider supplies servers. A review adds the sizing question, such as how many users work at once at peak, which drives the design.
We already have servers running. Can you design around them?
Yes. This is the common case. We can record what you run today before any new design is drawn.
Does the review include building the infrastructure?
No. Building the infrastructure is scoped on its own. You can take the design to your own team, to another vendor or back to us.
Who owns the diagram and the design document?
You do, in editable form. They stay useful whichever vendor works on them next.
