4) Performance Efficiency

• Ability to use computing resources efficiently to meet system requirements, and to maintain that efficiency as demand changes and technologies evolve.

Design Principles:

• Democratize advanced technologies: Use advanced technologies and make advanced technologies become services that your team can consume, allowing your team to focus on product development.

• Go global in minutes: Provides lower latency and a better experience for your customers at minimal cost.

• Use serverless architectures: Removes the need for you to run and maintain physical servers for traditional compute activities.

• Experiment more often: With virtual and automatable resources, you can quickly carry out comparative testing using different types of instances, storage, or configurations.

• Consider mechanical sympathy: Understand how all AWS services are consumed.
