 You can also set up autoscale rules for your applications in the Azure Spring Apps Standard consumption and dedicated plan. For more information, see [Quickstart: Set up autoscale for applications in the Azure Spring Apps Standard consumption and dedicated plan](quickstart-apps-autoscale-standard-consumption.md).
 
+## Stop maintaining unused environments 
+
+If you set up several environments while developing a product, it's important to remove the environments that are no longer in use once the product is live.
+
+## Remove unnecessary deployments 
+
+If you use strategies like blue-green deployment to reduce downtime, it can result in many idle deployments on staging slots, especially multiple app instances that aren't needed once newer versions are deployed to production.
+
+## Avoid over allocating resources 
+
+Java users often reserve more processing power and memory than they really need. While it's fine to use large app instances during the initial months in production, you should adjust resource allocation based on usage data.
+
+## Avoid unnecessary scaling 
+
+If you use more app instances than you need, you should adjust the number of instances based on real usage data.
+
+## Streamline monitoring data collection 
+
+If you collect more logs, metrics, and traces than you can use or afford, you must determine what's necessary for troubleshooting, capacity planning, and monitoring production. For example, you can reduce the frequency of application performance monitoring or be more selective about which logs, metrics, and traces you send to data aggregation tools.
+
+## Deactivate debug mode 
+
+If you forget to switch off debug mode for apps, a large amount of data is collected and sent to monitoring platforms. Forgetting to deactivate debug mode could be unnecessary and costly.
