These best practices are helpful for small startups that want to minimize costs as well as big corporates that wish to enhance security.

Because of this, we tend to rely completely on AWS when it comes to certain properties of our applications, such as performance and scalability. However, simply using AWS is not a guarantee that your AWS application will be able to handle the load as your business grows. How certain are you that your AWS application can handle 2x the current load on production?
