Scaling JIRA (server) - Best Practices recommendations?

Question

Hello Friends,

We are using 7.11 version of JIRA (server) with about 50 users, integrated with Confluence (server). We are planning to scale it to almost entire company of 400+ users, along with GitHub Integration. Both JIRA & Confluence are hosted on separate AWS EC2.large servers with a separate DB server.

I would like to get your recommendations on some of the best practices to ensure best performance & availability, and any pitfalls to avoid.

Any pointers would be truly helpful !

Thanks !
