User interface improvement is also needed in Dell APEX. The recruiters using Hire-HQ are not very technical and struggle to interpret metrics to the extent of IOPS. We could streamline the interface to make it more understandable for end users. Implementing real-time monitoring visualization is a key feature we want because seeing how Dell APEX performs in real-time would be very beneficial. Dell APEX can be improved with a better auto-scaling strategy. I have used AWS, which has features to the extent of HPA, horizontal pod auto-scaling that increases the number of servers when there is an increase in API calls. Vertical scaling is limited to some extent, and automatic scaling can improve to avoid delays, transitioning from manual to semi-automatic. Additionally, smarter resource planning for cost optimization can still be refined, as resources sometimes get over-allocated, causing prices to rise unnecessarily. Pricing-wise, it can be a bit costly because at times it allocates more resources than necessary, which increases costs. The consumption model can improve by fine-tuning it according to our needs to ensure it remains affordable for end users. It operates on a subscription-based model, which is beneficial as we track monthly consumption.
