This is Facet's Drupal implementation best practices checklist and survey for onboarding new clients. It is not an exhaustive list, and it is fairly opinionated—but it's the best thing we have for mitigating risk and ensuring reduced total cost of maintenance when onboarding new clients.
We assess the hosting infrastructure for each new client as they are onboarded in order to ensure they have an appropriately sized, supportable, performant, and scalable infrastructure.
From time-to-time, we may need to update the infrastructure hosting requirements for our clients depending on changing traffic, static file storage, or authenticated user traffic. Other variables may also apply.
Come back to this checklist as needed to demonstrate evolving needs to our clients.

[ ] File Storage

[ ] CDN
[ ] Database
[ ] Caching
[ ] Search (Solr)
