1. Dynamic Scaling in DXP - improve performance and reduce costs

   The default hardware SKU for Optimizely is P1V3. P1V3 only has 2 cores and P2V3 has 4 cores. Because the number of cores available to the system dictates the number of default threads the system attempt to regulate, it would be best to deviate away from our current default hardware SKU, P1V3 to P2V3, instead. However, doing so would increase costs which we do not want to do necessarily. This is a proposal to decrease costs while simultaneously increasing hardware resources during peak hours.

   The idea is to increase a customer's lower environment hardware to P2V3 during "working hours" (to be defined by the area the company hosts their hardware in by default), then decrease it after hours.

   The result would be to decrease hardware down to a minimum between approximately 5pm and bump it up again at approximately 9am. But, bump it up to a higher SKU that enables them to operate faster and better

   Based on my calculations, it appears that we could save approximately $700k/yr in doing so (calculation based on retail prices, not contracted prices).

   See the attached spreadsheet for projected reduction in costs.

   A self-service ability would be necessary to be able to temporarily scale up hardware resources. For example:

   • The user would have the ability to push a button to scale up to P2V3 if between an extended hour (between 7am and 7pm).

   • The user would have the ability to scale up additional instances for a short window of time and to keep hardware scaled to P2V3 for, say 4 days per month (4 days of load testing for example).

   This would enable the partner/customer development team to have better control over their resources while simultaneously dropping our costs another $500k-700k approximately.

2. Add .NET Counter publication to App Insights on Startup

   There are a whole suite of .NET counters available to use to publish to App Insights. This is a low-lift modification that enables us to gain many insights, directly inside of App Insights Metrics, we can utilize to diagnose issues on customers.

   This enables us to do performance investigations that otherwise require manual intervention (such as downloading .ETL files and opening them in PerfView or capturing dump files and analyzing them).

   We can skip these manual steps and jump write to "close to root causes" by publishing this information. There is little cost and no significant performance degradation associated with publishing this information because Microsoft has designed these metrics to be high performance to collect.

   Having this information available to us enables us to build further features such as success metrics into dashboards for partners to gauge the success of their implementation by taking this information and other information we've build into the Dashboard and surfacing it up in a useful way to the user base.

3. DXP Management Portal

   Restart Site - Have "Restart one instance at a time" be checked by default since not checking this can cause serious issues upon restart.

   Also adding the checkbox state to the confirmation message so users are aware.

4. Request for Wildcard Hostname Support on DXP

   Wildcard hostnames are not supported on DXP, and all configured hostnames must be explicitly mapped in the CMS admin.

   We will have thousands of customers for whom we will be setting up individual sites. Is it possible to configure a wildcard entry on DXP—such as *.procase.riogrande.com—to support this model? Managing tens of thousands of individual URLs in Optimizely DXP would be difficult for both Opti and us, and it would significantly increase our customer onboarding time.

5. Alerting for suspicious bot traffic spikes

   Customers never get alerted to suspicious traffic spikes unless they impact site speed or uptime.
   Ability to establish alerting for suspicious attacks, even if they are addressed by cloudflare before they impact site performance.
