What scalable Magento hosting on AWS includes

AWS gives a Magento store room to scale, and the architecture decides whether it does. We design the setup around your catalog and traffic pattern, run it for you, and load test it at your projected peak before go-live, on AWS best practices and our AWS hosting and ReadyMage platform.

 AWS architecture design

We size EC2, RDS, and caching to your store's real load, then write it as infrastructure as code so the setup is repeatable and reviewable.

 Auto-scaling for peak traffic

 Scaling rules sized to your traffic pattern add capacity for sales and campaigns, with no manual work needed on the day.

 Load testing before launch

We simulate a full sale-day load on the new infrastructure and fix what slows down, well before the store faces a real one.

 PCI-compliant security

 PCI-compliant environments on ISO 27001 and 27017 certified infrastructure, with patching, a web application firewall, and DDoS protection in place.

Automated backups and recovery

 Scheduled backups and a rehearsed recovery path bring the store back fast after a bad deploy or an infrastructure failure

24/7 monitoring

 Round-the-clock monitoring of uptime, performance, and security, with AWS-certified engineers acting on alerts before customers notice.

How auto-scaling keeps your store up when traffic spikes

asdasdfasfadsfdsafds

 AWS auto-scaling adds capacity the moment real traffic climbs and removes it when the rush passes, so the store stays fast through a flash sale and the bill follows real demand

 Scales with the spike

Capacity expands automatically as orders climb, so a sudden traffic multiple does not turn into a checkout outage.

Cuts idle-server cost

 When the rush passes, capacity scales back down, and you pay for the peak only while it actually happens.

Steady performance under load

Caching, a CDN, and read replicas keep page and checkout speed steady whether 100 shoppers are on the site or 100,000.

The AWS services your Magento store runs on

 A Magento store on AWS is only as reliable as the services behind it. We connect the AWS components Adobe Commerce depends on so a failure in one availability zone does not take the store down, and we tune each one to your catalog.

Compute (EC2 and ECS)

Containerized or instance-based compute that auto-scales across availability zones, so the store keeps serving even if one zone fails.

Database (RDS and ElastiCache)

Managed RDS with read replicas for catalog and order load, plus ElastiCache and Redis for sessions and full-page caching

CDN and edge (CloudFront)

CloudFront serves static assets and images close to your shoppers, cutting load time and shielding the origin during traffic spikes.

Load balancing

 Elastic Load Balancing spreads requests across instances and zones, and no single server becomes the bottleneck at peak.

Infrastructure as code

Your whole setup is defined in code, so it is version-controlled, repeatable across staging and production, and quick to recover.

Staging and deploys

A staging environment and versioned deploys on the same architecture mean changes are tested on AWS before they reach production.

 How we move your store to AWS without downtime

Migrating a live store onto AWS is planned and tested before we touch production. We review the current setup, build the architecture, test it under sale-day traffic, and cut over at a low-traffic hour with a rollback ready.

Hosting evaluation

We review your current setup and traffic history, then map the AWS architecture and the scaling rules your store will need

Architecture and build

We provision the AWS environment from the architecture design, configuring compute, database, caching, and security for your store.

 Load test the cutover

 We build a working copy on AWS and run it under your projected peak, tuning until checkout holds, so the migration is proven before go-live.

 Migrate and monitor

We switch over at a quiet hour with a rollback in place, then keep monitoring scaling and performance in the weeks after the move.

 24/7 support from AWS-certified engineers

After go-live the same team stays on the store. Monitoring runs day and night, patches land before they become urgent, and one engineer is accountable for uptime at every hour.

One team, infrastructure and code

he engineers who run your AWS setup also know Adobe Commerce, and incidents are traced to the cause in one place.

Proactive monitoring and patching

 Patching and health checks are handled for you on a schedule, and alerts are acted on before they become incidents.

Incident response that owns the problem

A traffic surge or a security alert at 3 a.m. is our problem to solve, with a named team keeping your store online.

 Magento hosting on AWS questions, answered

Does Magento run well on AWS?

Yes. Magento on AWS is one of the most common hosting setups for Adobe Commerce. EC2, RDS, ElastiCache, CloudFront, and Elastic Load Balancing give the platform the compute, caching, and CDN it needs for fast, reliable storefronts. The work is in architecting them for your catalog size and traffic pattern, which is what our AWS-certified team does.

How much does Magento AWS hosting cost?

Cost depends on your traffic, catalog size, and the AWS services your store needs. Because we architect each setup to your demand and use auto-scaling, you pay for the capacity you actually use, with no flat over-provisioned bill. Tell us about your store and we will scope a setup and a clear estimate.

Is the hosting secure and compliant?

Yes. scandiweb is ISO 27001 and ISO 27017 certified, and we build PCI-compliant Magento environments on AWS with a web application firewall and DDoS protection. Security patching, backups, and monitoring are part of the managed service, so your store and customer data stay protected without extra work for your team.

 What is the best hosting setup for Magento?

The best setup depends on your catalog, traffic, and team. For most growing stores, a managed AWS architecture with auto-scaling, managed caching, a CDN, and 24/7 monitoring gives the best balance of speed, uptime, and cost. We shape the architecture around your store and its traffic.

Do you migrate an existing Magento store to AWS?

Yes. We move your existing Magento (Adobe Commerce) store to AWS, including data, configuration, and integrations, with a tested migration plan that minimizes downtime. We load test the new setup under your peak traffic, handle the cutover, and monitor closely afterward so the store stays fast and stable through the move.

Can your AWS setup handle a Black Friday traffic spike?

Yes. Auto-scaling adds capacity automatically as traffic climbs and removes it when the surge passes. We also load test your store at its projected peak before go-live, so checkout has already held the kind of traffic a campaign or a Black Friday brings.
