Start With the Work Your Application Needs to Do

Growth planning begins with requirements: who uses the application, which tasks matter, and what happens when demand increases. A useful project brief describes those needs before choosing a technology stack.

Define the Important Journeys

List the actions users need to complete, the information they need, and the roles that should have access. Separate the first release from features that can wait.

Make Performance Measurable

Agree which pages and workflows to measure, then test them under conditions relevant to the expected audience. Review page resources, loading behavior, and server work rather than relying on a single headline score.

Plan for Maintenance

Document the setup, dependencies, deployment steps, and ownership of ongoing tasks. A clear handover makes future changes easier to assess.

Budget for Learning

No architecture guarantees a particular number of users. Use actual usage and testing to decide when improvements are needed, and keep a prioritized list of work for later releases.
