Performance efficiency pillar

The performance efficiency pillar focuses on the efficient use of computing resources to meet requirements, and maintaining that efficiency as demand changes and technologies evolve.

Take a data-driven approach to selecting a high-performance architecture. Gather data on all aspects of the architecture, from the high-level design to the selection and configuration of resource types. By reviewing your choices on a cyclical basis, you will ensure that you are taking advantage of the continually evolving AWS Cloud. Monitoring will make you aware of any deviance from expected performance and allow you to take action on it. Finally, you can make tradeoffs in your architecture to improve performance, such as using compression or caching, or by relaxing consistency requirements.
