Retail peak season is approaching, and you can expect increased traffic at every point of your customers' journey. Maintaining application performance and responsiveness during the holiday season is essential, but scaling resources dynamically to accommodate demand spikes while optimizing for cost can be challenging. You need to scale your cloud infrastructure for high availability, ensure your applications and systems can handle what’s coming, and that you have the right security posture in place.
AWS Countdown Premium, an AWS offering designed for business-critical events, applies the same best practices used for major events like Amazon Prime Day. AWS Countdown Premium helps scale your team with skilled cloud experts to help evaluate your operational readiness, plan for increased traffic, and provide rapid support during your biggest sales events.
With Countdown Premium, you’ll get:
- Critical support at every step of your retail peak season planning and execution, from design to post-sale retrospectives.
- Designated engineers selected from a team of AWS experts provide proactive guidance and troubleshooting, with the cloud expertise you can trust.
- Expert-led engagements like AWS Well-Architected assessments, security reviews, infrastructure capacity planning, and critical event calls, helping you ensure your order processing, checkout system, call center, and loyalty programs are optimized.
- Support for your team in learning critical cloud skills as you prepare and execute on your cloud operational strategy, all while providing rapid issue resolution at every step of the way.
