Step 1

Open the canvas

Click Launch App and open a workspace. Start with a blank canvas or a template.

Step 2

Add AWS services

Drag services like API Gateway, Lambda, SQS, and DynamoDB onto the canvas.

Step 3

Connect and configure

Link services in request flow order and set key configuration values for each node.

Step 4

Run simulation

Choose a traffic pattern and RPS, then start simulation to generate live architecture metrics.

Step 5

Review results

Check latency, throughput, throttling, and error indicators to find bottlenecks quickly.

Step 6

Apply recommendations

Use AI suggestions to improve cost, resilience, and performance. Apply changes one by one.

Step 7

Compare iterations

Run simulation again after updates and compare before/after outcomes to validate improvements.

Step 8

Share with your team

Export or present architecture decisions so developers, DevOps, and stakeholders stay aligned.

Get better results faster

Simple practices that improve simulation quality and recommendation relevance.

Start simple

Build a minimal architecture first, then add services. This makes bottlenecks easier to isolate.

Test multiple traffic patterns

Use ramp and spike tests, not only constant load, to evaluate real-world behavior.

Apply one change at a time

Incremental changes help you understand which adjustment produced a measurable improvement.
