The system may determine a rate of communication between the first module and the second module based on the session data. The system may determine, using an optimization model, a co-location score associated with the first module and the second module based on the rate of communication, wherein the co-location score indicates an impact of co-location of the first module and the second module. The system may determine that the co-location score satisfies a co-location score threshold associated with an improvement to an operation of the platform. The system may perform an action associated with co-locating the first module and the second module. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method comprising: monitoring, by a device, communications data related to operation of a platform that involves coordination between a first module and a second module associated with the platform, wherein the first module is hosted on a first server associated with a first server rack and the second module is hosted on a second server associated with a second server rack;
