Hosting & Cloud
Cloud infrastructure for Adobe Commerce
A badly hosted Adobe Commerce store is a disaster: slow during promos, crashes on Black Friday and vulnerable on security. We design and implement AWS and Adobe Commerce Cloud architectures optimized for performance, scalability and compliance.
AWS optimized for Adobe Commerce
AWS reference architecture: EC2 Auto Scaling for PHP/Nginx, RDS Multi-AZ for MySQL, ElastiCache (Redis) for sessions, Elasticsearch Service or OpenSearch for catalog, S3 + CloudFront for media, Route 53 for DNS, ACM for HTTPS.
- EC2 Auto Scaling with m6i/m6a instances
- RDS Aurora MySQL Multi-AZ
- ElastiCache Redis for cache + sessions
- Amazon OpenSearch for Live Search
- S3 + CloudFront for media/assets
- ACM + Route 53 + WAF
Adobe Commerce Cloud (managed)
If you prefer Adobe to manage the infrastructure, Adobe Commerce Cloud (based on AWS) gives you automatic patching, on-demand scaling, included monitoring and Adobe's 24/7 support. Higher cost but zero internal DevOps.
- 100% managed by Adobe
- Automatic patching and upgrades
- Fastly CDN + Elasticsearch included
- Staging + production + development envs
- Direct 24/7 Adobe support
Infrastructure as code
Our entire stack is deployed with Terraform — nothing manual in the AWS console. We version the infrastructure, audit it and replicate it across environments in minutes.
- Reusable Terraform modules
- Identical dev/staging/prod environments
- CI/CD with GitHub Actions
- Secrets in AWS Secrets Manager
- CloudTrail + GuardDuty for compliance
Performance and scalability
We design for the bad day, not the average day. Black Friday with 100x normal traffic has to work without intervention. Pre-launch load testing + auto-scaling + proactive monitoring.
- Load testing with k6 / JMeter
- Auto-scaling by CPU + queue depth
- Varnish Full Page Cache
- Global CloudFront CDN
- On-demand MySQL read replicas
- Decoupled queue workers (RabbitMQ)
Security and compliance
PCI DSS Level 1 compatible. WAF against OWASP Top 10. Encrypted backups. VPC network segregation + security groups. Secret rotation. Full audit in CloudTrail.
- PCI DSS Level 1 ready
- AWS WAF + Shield Standard
- Automated backups + cross-region
- VPC with private subnets
- KMS for data at rest
- Annual penetration testing
Monitoring and observability
You can't fix what you can't see. We implement full observability: centralized logs, metrics and traces with actionable alerts.
- CloudWatch Logs + Metrics + Alarms
- APM (New Relic, Datadog)
- Synthetic monitoring (checkout flow)
- Real User Monitoring (RUM)
- Operational and business dashboards
Frequently asked questions
- AWS vs Adobe Commerce Cloud — which to pick?
- AWS wins if your team has mature DevOps, you want full control, or you already have workloads in AWS (natural integration). Adobe Commerce Cloud wins if you don't want to manage infrastructure, your GMV justifies the premium cost and you value direct 24/7 Adobe support. We run the financial analysis in the initial consultation.
- How much does it cost to host Adobe Commerce on AWS?
- For a store with 50k sessions/month: ~$300-600 USD/month on AWS. 500k sessions/month: ~$1,500-3,000 USD/month. 5M+ sessions: $8,000+ USD/month. Adobe Commerce Cloud starts around $2,500 USD/month for the basic tier.
- Can you migrate my store to AWS without downtime?
- Yes, with a blue-green deployment strategy. We bring up the new stack on AWS running in parallel, sync the data, and do a DNS cutover in <5 minutes with reduced TTL. The old store serves as fallback if anything fails.
