Magento AWS hosting, designed for your store

AWS makes you decide everything a hosting plan decides for you. That’s the part we do, as an AWS Partner with 40+ AWS-certified experts.

Full control

Over the architecture and the codebase, with no provider limits.

Scale and reshape as you grow

Instead of migrating every time the store outgrows a plan.

Flexible pricing

Pay as you go, or commit upfront and cut some bills by more than 60%.

Why run Magento on AWS

A badly designed AWS estate can still cost more and run slower than good hosting. The architecture matters more than the provider.

The web tier scales on its own

Application servers grow and shrink with traffic while the database stays steady.

Supporting services, managed

Database, cache, search and file storage don’t have to be servers you patch yourself.

Your data where it needs to be

AWS regions keep the store where your data-protection obligations require.

We measure the store before designing anything

Every AWS project starts with the store’s real numbers, not a template.

  • Current load

    CPU, memory and SSD usage on the existing servers.

  • Traffic and campaigns

    Normal days, peak days, and how the team runs promotions.

  • Today’s problems

    Because not everything should be solved with more memory or autoscaling.

  • Budget and an estimate

    The setup costed in AWS’s pricing calculator and agreed before anything is built.

The AWS services behind your Magento setup

On the servers, nginx, PHP, MySQL, Redis, Varnish and cron are configured for Magento’s workload.

EC2 and Auto Scaling

Magento’s PHP, with web, admin and background jobs split by load.

RDS and ElastiCache

MySQL with automated snapshots, and Redis for sessions and cache.

OpenSearch, EFS and S3

Search and layered navigation, shared files, media and backups.

CloudFront and CodeDeploy

Static files served near shoppers, code released to every server.

Autoscaling for traffic peaks

Autoscaling lets a campaign land without the store falling over, but only if the application is built for it.

  • Scaling on real signals

    CPU and response times, with capacity scheduled ahead of planned sales.

  • Shared state off the servers

    Sessions in ElastiCache and files on EFS or S3, so any server can take any request.

  • Admin work separated

    Feeds and exports built on the admin instance, still reachable from the storefront.

  • Scaling back down

    After the peak, so the bill follows the traffic.

CI/CD pipeline for Magento 2 on AWS

Releases that shoppers never notice.

Build outside production

Dependencies and static content built in the pipeline, not on live servers.

Release in one step

Through CodeDeploy, with a rollback ready for every release.

Managed testing environments

Dockerized staging in your AWS account, deployed through Jenkins.

The details that decide a clean AWS migration

Most AWS migrations that go wrong fail on something small. These are checked before the move.

Certificates and email

SSL moved or replaced, and EC2’s default port 25 restriction planned around.

Cron and old-server data

Scheduled jobs, database dumps and secondary applications accounted for.

IP whitelisting

ERPs, payment processors and CRMs given the new address before go-live.

Security, backups and recovery on AWS

Layers that keep the data private and the store recoverable. Round-the-clock monitoring and threat‑intelligence protection are available on top.

Private subnets in a VPC

RDS, ElastiCache and OpenSearch open only to the app servers.

A firewall and named access

Cloudflare or AWS WAF in front, and IAM users with no shared credentials.

Backups and a recovery plan

RDS snapshots, media backups and a recovery plan you hold a copy of.

What goes into the scope

An AWS estimate from us covers the whole move, not only the servers.

Each AWS service set up

EC2, RDS, EFS, S3, ElastiCache, Auto Scaling and CodeDeploy.

Software configured

nginx, PHP, MySQL, Redis, Varnish and cron, tuned for Magento.

Data migrated

Database, codebase and media moved across.

Pre-live setup and testing

The full store proven before anything is switched.

Optional extras

Cloudflare WAF, managed backups, CloudFront and load tests.

Go-live day itself

Final data sync, DNS, configuration and a full round of testing.

Tested before go-live

Pre-live is where problems are meant to be caught, and we treat it that way.

  1. When pre-live is ready

    The environment address, access details, and what can’t be tested before launch. What you see there is exactly what goes live.

  2. After go-live

    The live address and access to every new service. Anything outside the agreed scope is logged separately, so launch day doesn’t grow into a project.

AWS or Adobe Commerce Cloud

Adobe’s managed cloud runs on AWS or Azure underneath, so the real question is who designs and runs it.

Your own AWS

Your own AWS fits if

  • You run Magento Open Source

  • You need an architecture Adobe’s setup doesn’t allow

  • You want direct control of infrastructure costs

  • You already run other systems on AWS

  • You already pay for Adobe Commerce

  • You want Adobe accountable for the infrastructure

  • Your team is small

  • Adobe’s standard setup covers your store

Architecture matters more than the provider

Frequently asked questions

If you can't find the answer you're looking for, feel free to reach out to us. We're here to help.

Yes, when it’s designed for the store. AWS offers managed versions of everything Magento depends on and scales the web tier with demand. Poorly designed, it can cost more than good hosting, so the design matters most.

Usually EC2 for the application, RDS for the database, ElastiCache for sessions and cache, OpenSearch Service for search, EFS for shared files, and S3 with CloudFront for media, with Auto Scaling and a load balancer in front.

We cost the proposed setup in AWS’s pricing calculator during discovery, from your store’s measured load, and agree it with you before building. Committing upfront for the steady part of the load can cut the bill substantially.

That’s what the preparation and pre-live testing are for. We check certificates, email, cron, IP whitelisting and every third-party connection, test the full store on pre-live, and only then switch.

Adobe Commerce Cloud suits Adobe Commerce customers who want Adobe to own the infrastructure. Your own AWS suits Magento Open Source, custom architectures, and businesses that want direct control of the bill.

If you’d like us to. Our managed DevOps service keeps the AWS estate watched, secured, patched and supported through incidents, or your own team can run it from the documentation we hand over.

Yes. It’s Adobe Commerce on Cloud, Adobe’s managed option, that requires an Adobe Commerce license.
