Magento performance comparison - AWS vs DO
2 likes2,100 views
The document compares the performance of Magento e-commerce sites hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Digital Ocean (DO). Preliminary tests of identically configured sites on AWS and DO found page load times were 20-30% faster on AWS. However, increasing the DO configuration reduced the performance gap. More testing is planned to make conclusive comparisons.

- 3. AWS (Amazon Web Services) Overview • Offered by Amazon.com over the internet • AWS (Amazon Web Services) is the most popular and robust cloud hosting interface • It is a collection of web services that makes up a cloud computing platform • The core services are Amazon EC2 and Amazon S3 • AWS offerings are accessed over HTTP using REST and SOAP protocols • Millions of sites and some of the Internet’s most popular sites, portals and e-Commerce Sites run on Amazon Web Services
- 4. DigitalOcean (DO) Overview • Launched by Ben Uretsky in 2011 • American cloud computing provider which provides scalable virtual private servers in multiple locations and DNS hosting • Multiple server instances can be created using the same account, each server referred to by DigitalOcean as a ‘droplet’ • Various actions may be performed on any given ‘droplet’, such as powering off, booting, renaming, and many others. • DigitalOcean provides users with an API that can be used to manage their droplets • In this way it makes cloud computing very user friendly and easily manageable.
- 5. Setup for Magento Performance Comparison on AWS and DO • We set up base Magento on AWS as well as on DigitalOcean (DO) (SSD based cloud) and did some tests using sample data • We used two identically tuned LAMP (Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP)setups. The configurations used were: 1. On AWS – 2 virtual cores, 1.7GB memory (with and without IOPS were checked) 2. On DO – 2 virtual cores, 2GB memory • Presently we are loading more data and doing some more tests, but our preliminary findings are indicated in the following slides

- 7. Points Worthy of Note Based on Test Results • In all cases, AWS version was faster loading by 20 to 30% on reasonably comparable configurations. • When the DO machine is bumped up to 8GB quad-core (which is still half the cost of a medium EC2), it still comes very close to matching the medium EC2 performance. • Please note that the results obtained in these tests were based on a particular sample and are not conclusive.
