Peak Shield · 48-Hour AWS Audit · E-Commerce Focused
Your e-commerce site crashed during your last sale. We fix why.
42% of e-commerce companies experience significant downtime during peak sales (Source: industry research). Mid-market sites lose $1,200–$6,900 per minute during outages. And PCI-DSS v4.0 became mandatory in March 2025 — most haven't complied.
Peak Shield: focused 48-hour assessment against the AWS Well-Architected Framework. Auto-scaling, CDN, database, cost, security. Money-back guarantee if we don't find 5+ improvements.
5 pillars. Every e-commerce blind spot.
Auto-Scaling Architecture
Can your infrastructure handle 10x normal traffic? We test EC2 Auto Scaling Group configuration, target tracking policies, scale-up/down thresholds, warm pool settings, and launch template optimization. Most e-commerce sites have auto-scaling "enabled" but not properly configured — they scale too slowly for flash sale spikes.
CDN & Content Delivery
Is CloudFront properly configured? We check origin configuration, cache policies, image optimization (WebP/AVIF), compression settings, edge locations. Adding a properly configured CDN typically reduces page load time by 40–60%. Most sites serve static assets from origin — not cache.
Database Performance
Is your database the bottleneck? We analyze RDS instance sizing, read replica configuration, connection pooling, slow query logs, and whether you should use ElastiCache for sessions. Database bottlenecks cause 35% of e-commerce performance issues (Source: AWS Well-Architected Framework).
Cost Optimization
Are you overpaying? We review EC2 utilization (right-sizing), Reserved Instance/Savings Plan coverage, S3 storage class optimization, data transfer costs, and orphaned resources (EBS volumes, unused Elastic IPs, idle load balancers). Typical finding: 30–60% potential savings.
Security & PCI-DSS v4.0
Are you exposed? IAM policies (least privilege), S3 bucket permissions, VPC segmentation, WAF rules, CloudTrail logging, encryption at rest/in transit, Security Hub findings. We map every finding against PCI-DSS v4.0 requirements — mandatory since March 2025.
Not a 100-page document. A prioritized roadmap.
Visual, prioritized findings deck. Each finding includes: what we found, why it matters (business impact in dollars), and the recommended fix with estimated effort.
Red — Critical
Fix this week. Public S3 buckets, no auto-scaling, missing WAF, PCI compliance gaps.
Yellow — Important
Fix this month. Suboptimal CDN caching, oversized EC2 instances, missing CloudTrail regions.
Green — Good
No action needed. We also tell you what's working well.
