Infrastructure Analysis

Acme's current infrastructure, while robust, exhibits complexities that can be streamlined. The multi-tiered approach, involving numerous third-party services, can sometimes lead to redundant processes and increased operational costs.

For instance, Acme's reliance on multiple cloud providers for different tasks (like storage on one and computing on another) might be leading to data transfer costs and latency issues. A consolidated approach, using a single cloud provider's suite of services, can simplify the architecture and reduce costs.

Additionally, the deployment process involves several manual interventions, making it prone to human errors. Implementing a comprehensive CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment) pipeline can automate many of these steps, ensuring consistency and reducing the margin for error.

By revisiting the infrastructure design, Acme can not only achieve operational efficiencies but also realize significant cost savings in the long run.
