AWS Performance
AWS performance optimization for slow, spiky and growing workloads.
When an AWS application slows down, the cause is rarely the first place people look. We trace requests end to end, from the browser and CDN to the load balancer, compute, cache and database, and fix the real bottleneck.
Problems we solve
Pick your symptom. Each links to the detailed service guide.
Slow database queries and connection limits
Missing indexes, N+1 queries and exhausted connections slow whole applications. We tune queries, add caching and pooling, and size databases correctly.

CPU, memory and disk bottlenecks
Throttled burstable instances, memory pressure and slow volumes cap performance. We right-size, change instance families and fix storage throughput.
Lambda and API latency
Cold starts, large packages and chatty integrations add delay. We optimize functions, memory and API Gateway configuration.
Slow page loads worldwide
A CDN, correct caching headers and optimized images reduce latency. We configure CloudFront and the origin properly.

Network and load balancer latency
Cross-AZ hops, NAT bottlenecks and idle timeouts add latency and errors. We review routing and load balancer behavior.
No visibility into where time goes
Without metrics and tracing, every incident is guesswork. We add dashboards, alarms and distributed tracing.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you find the cause of slow performance on AWS?
We measure at every layer using CloudWatch, Performance Insights, X-Ray and load testing, then confirm the bottleneck before changing anything.
Will performance work require downtime?
Most changes are online. Where a restart or migration is needed we schedule a maintenance window and prepare a rollback.
Do you also reduce cost while improving performance?
Often, yes. Removing waste and right-sizing typically improves both speed and spend.
