How can Magento handle sudden traffic spikes?

Through a combination of application optimization, caching, CDN configuration, load balancing, multiple application instances, database optimization, and infrastructure Auto Scaling. The right mix depends on the store's traffic patterns and application design.

Is increasing EC2 instance size enough to scale Magento?

A larger instance adds capacity, but it is still vertical scaling. Stores that need more resilience and dynamic scalability are better served by multiple Magento application instances behind a load balancer.

Can Magento run across multiple AWS EC2 instances?

Yes, but shared dependencies such as sessions, cache, media, database services, search services, deployment processes, and application configuration must be designed for it.

Why does a Magento website become slow only during peak traffic?

Investigate infrastructure capacity, database utilization, PHP workers, cache efficiency, external integrations, and application bottlenecks. Establish the root cause through monitoring and profiling rather than assuming Magento itself is the problem.

What is the benefit of Auto Scaling for a Magento store?

Auto Scaling lets compute capacity follow application demand. For stores with variable traffic, it improves resilience during spikes without permanently paying for peak capacity.
