Ever though about making sure that your infrastructure can grow with your business? My talk will outline what is necessary to ensure that you can handle spikes and general growth of customer traffic gracefully! I will go through the thought-processes needed to start an AWS/cloud buildout, starting from a traditional Magento e-commerce architecture (where are the bottlenecks, what does it mean to go to the cloud etc) and introduce systems for automation and documentation for easy reproduction.
We’ll have a look at packer and vagrant and how we can hand-craft system images so that your developers can use the same operating system setups as in your live environment. I will propose an overall architecture for a scalable and stable Magento infrastructure on AWS and explain all the different services and what needs to be done to get them implemented. Even if you’re not planning to go to the cloud immediately, there should be quite some takeaways as to what you can improve speed-wise!
To wrap things up I want to go one step further and offer insight into systems for infrastructure build automation and release rollouts in a cloud environment.
