Elastic capacity
Autoscaling on AWS for Magento
Adapt application capacity to changing storefront demand while keeping the surrounding database, cache, search, queue, and delivery layers observable.
Scale stateless application workloads
Web tasks for Magento run as replaceable containers behind a load balancer, allowing horizontal capacity changes without managing individual servers.
- ECS Fargate tasks
- Application Load Balancer distribution
- Shared media through Amazon EFS
Protect the origin
CloudFront caching and compression reduce repeated origin work while WAF provides an edge security layer.
- Global CDN delivery
- TLS termination
- Web attack and request filtering
Observe scaling behavior
Metrics and alarms provide the context needed to tune capacity rather than treating autoscaling as a black box.
- Service utilization metrics
- Application and infrastructure dashboards
- Plan-defined maximum capacity
