After they made changes they conducted accessional load tests. They accomplishment was much betterd and they even set up a reusable load testing infrastructure with excellent documentation so we could reuse.
Once we were lucky with the new set up, they executed some changes to better security of the infrastructure and set up some basic monitoring and alerting capabilities.
