Making a Ligthing Flash Magento store with Nginx on AWS Elastic Beanstalk with Minimum Resource Utilization
- by Junaid
I'm going to install Magento on AWS Elastic Beanstalk t1.micro (free tier), on Windows or Linux + Nginx + Php-fpm + eAccelerator, CDN (cloudfront), MemcacheD.
I will ask my developer to make my website as fast as it can be with as much as possible, minimum AWS utilization.
My webstore will have <1000 SKUs and I'm not expecting the traffic without going into thorough SEO/PPC.
Now I have three questions:
Do I really need Nginx microcaching along with eaccelerator?
Do I need AWS Elastic Load Balancer with t1.micro tier for the sake of scalability (as I have heard that magento is resource hungry application, may fully utilize t1.micro AMI)
or can I replace AWS ELB with Nginx load balancer? In AWS Elastic Beanstalk?
