Scaling your WP Site
I am a software engineer. I graduated in 2013 and have been professionally working for 5 years now. I have been mainly working as a DevOps Engineer and Cloud Solution Architect.
Topic Description:
The theme that I am trying to focus on is how migrating to the cloud (my presentation will be geared towards AWS) will help developers achieve production level scalability. I will be discussing around three of the AWS services which every development team can adopt right now.
First I will be talking about EC2, it is the computing service provided by AWS with a plethora of server types to choose from, combining EC2 with other services like Autoscaling and Load Balancer that AWS provides a WP site can handle massive hit too.
Another service is S3, it is a block storage service which can be used to host static content of WP, there are various plugins which a developer could use to host their media files. The durability, availability, versioning of your media files assures that no matter what the scale is your static content is delivered
The third service that I would like to talk about is RDS it is the database offering by AWS, you can use Mysql or even better Aurora which has the same API to that of Mysql. With features like MultiAZ deployments and read replicas the development team can be assured that DB is never a bottleneck when it comes to the performance of the WordPress site
