# AWS Well-Architected Review
Run a lightweight Well-Architected review on a concrete artifact — an architecture diagram/description, Terraform/CDK/CloudFormation, or a design doc — and report risks the way the official framework does: per pillar, severity-rated, each with a specific remediation. This is an engineering review to catch issues early; it complements (does not replace) a formal Well-Architected Tool review with an AWS SA.
## Pillar Selection
Load only what the change touches — typically 2-4 pillars, not all six:
| Change involves | Load |
|-----------------|------|
| IAM, network exposure, data handling, secrets | [references/security.md](references/security.md) |
| Availability targets, failover, backups, DR | [references/reliability.md](references/reliability.md) |
| Instance/database sizing, scaling, latency paths | [references/performance.md](references/performance.md) |
| Spend-relevant choices: sizing, storage classes, data transfer, commitment plans | [references/cost.md](references/cost.md) |
| Deployment, observability, runbooks, IaC hygiene | [references/operations.md](references/operations.md) |
| Region choice, instance generations, utilization, data lifecycle | [references/sustainability.md](references/sustainability.md) |
When in doubt for a general "review this architecture" request, default to Security + Reliability + Cost — the three with the highest production-incident and bill impact.
## Review Process
1. **Understand the workload.** Fro
