Auto-Scaling For CS-Cart In AWS Infrastructure

Simply put, scaling is configuring server resources to be able to maintain consistent and predictive performance at the lowest possible cost. Scaling is not relevant for startups, simple cloud resources will be enough for them. The difficulties emerge later as the project grows when the number of customers increases and the initial resources can no longer cope with the load. And the way the initial infrastructure is designed doesn't allow safe and smooth expansion, so it requires redeveloping.

Lack of scalability can harm your business. Scalability gives you confidence that the store is ready for traffic spikes and scheduled load changes like sales promotions and holiday shopping. Plus, scalability is essential for business expansion which implies growth of traffic, requests, database size, etc.

We have created a reliable solution for safe and fast auto-scaling for projects based on CS-Cart. It is implemented using AWS resources and services. We monitor the resources and can quickly scale them to ensure optimal performance of your online store at the lowest possible cost.

Our solution is designed taking into account the specific features of CS-Cart and the environment it operates in.

• High load speed. Lack of resources will no longer cause troubles to your customers. Your store will open almost in an instant and surfing around it will be faster than ever.
• 24/7 availability. The store will not go offline due to the lack of server resources. The customers will be able to access it anytime.
• Fewer errors. Simultaneous actions can slow down the store performance significantly and even can cause errors at the most sensitive stages of the customer journey such as checkout. This is a common issue when launching promotion campaigns in Ecommerce. Auto-scaling helps to protect your store from that.
