This session focuses on the Performance Efficiency pillar of the Well-Architected Framework, addressing how to design scalable, efficient applications that meet business performance needs. Attendees will learn strategies for autoscaling, caching, and load distribution that keep systems responsive under variable demand. The session examines tradeoffs between performance, cost, and simplicity, showing how architects can optimize without over-engineering. Special attention will be given to preparing for workloads that require rapid elasticity and high efficiency, including AI-enhanced services. Participants will leave ready to apply performance best practices that balance speed, stability, and cost in workload deployments.

Level: 300 | Target Audience: Cloud engineers, performance specialists, architects. The session encourages participants to design scalable, efficient AI workloads by applying WAF principles with practical examples.
