About this app

AWS Well-Architected guidance shouldn't be difficult to navigate.

The AWS Well-Architected Framework contains a huge amount of valuable architectural guidance across six pillars, hundreds of best practices, implementation recommendations, and AWS services. But finding the guidance you need can mean navigating large documents and multiple AWS resources.

WellArc puts that guidance in your pocket.

Instead of searching through lengthy documents when you just want to check a best practice, WellArc gives you a fast, structured way to explore the AWS Well-Architected Framework from your phone.

Start with one of the six pillars:

• Operational Excellence
• Security
• Reliability
• Performance Efficiency
• Cost Optimization
• Sustainability

Drill down through topics and best practices, view implementation guidance, and see the AWS services relevant to each recommendation.

Built for the moment you actually need the answer.

Whether you're designing an architecture, preparing for a Well-Architected Review, studying AWS, sitting in a design meeting, or simply trying to remember which AWS service supports a particular best practice, WellArc makes the framework much easier to explore.

With WellArc you can:

• Browse all six Well-Architected pillars
• Quickly navigate topics and best practices
• Read practical implementation guidance
• Discover relevant AWS services
• Use AWS guidance in a mobile-friendly format
• Keep a useful architecture reference in your pocket

Less searching. More architecting.
