Your cloud is the engine room of your product. As teams, features and data grow, tiny inefficiencies sneak in—quietly nudging up costs, slowing things down and making scale feel harder than it should.
At Fiberax, we work side-by-side with customers to keep that engine running clean. Our engineers can review your architecture, spot waste, and suggest practical fixes that boost performance, resilience and cost efficiency. Prefer to self-serve? We’ll share patterns and checklists so you can tune things at your own pace.
Why regular reviews matter
- They keep tech aligned with the business. As your goals evolve, your cloud should evolve with them. Reviews make sure today’s setup fits where you’re heading—not just where you started.
- They harden performance and security. Small misconfigurations can cause slowdowns or risky gaps. A resilient design reduces downtime and keeps you calm during traffic spikes or incidents.
- They protect your budget. Right-sized resources and smart patterns cut waste so you only pay for value.
Five quick wins for performance & security
- Right-size compute (VMs). Match instance types and node pools to actual utilisation. If something idles at low CPU or memory, downsize or consolidate.
- Use load balancers + autoscaling. Let traffic dictate capacity. Scale up when you need it; scale down when you don’t.
- Segment with VPCs. Keep chatty services on private networks for lower latency, lower egress and a smaller attack surface.
- Monitor and alert early. Track CPU, memory, I/O, latency and error rates—and add billing alerts to catch surprises before they snowball.
- Back up like you mean it. Automate backups for databases and filesystems, store off-site/immutable copies, and test restores regularly.
Five smart moves to save money and scale smoothly
- Clean up storage. Remove stale snapshots, old images and unattached volumes. Tier data so cold content isn’t sitting on hot disks.
- Adopt managed services where it pays. Offload undifferentiated heavy lifting (databases, caching, observability) so your team ships product, not plumbing.
- Automate deployments. CI/CD plus Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform + GitHub Actions) reduces errors, speeds rollbacks and makes environments repeatable.
- Tame data egress. Use a CDN and cache aggressively to keep content close to users and costs under control.
- Do a monthly “cost vs performance” check. Review the bill alongside key SLOs. Spend where it improves user experience; trim where it doesn’t.
