High-volume Magento stores face a unique challenge: the site is quiet 90% of the time, then 100x traffic hits in 5 minutes.
We’ve seen two main schools of thought:
-
Over-provisioning: Keeping a massive server running 24/7 (expensive but safe).
-
Reactive Scaling: Manually increasing resources before a known event (prone to human error).
With the rise of Kubernetes and Cloudways Autonomous, we're seeing more folks move toward true autoscaling where the infrastructure expands and contracts based on real-time PHP worker demand.
What’s your strategy? Do you prefer the former approach of a massive dedicated server, or are you moving toward elastic cloud environments?
