Services connected to ReadyMage

I need to see logs of Magento, ElasticSearch, and other services to debug, where can I find them?

Yes, your project comes with a connected ELK stack and in your project's User Portal, you can find the access to Kibana application that updates logs in real-time with the possibility to search particular records or narrow down the search by a service e.g. Magento or Varnish logs.

I need to set up UAT and Pre-live environments as well, how can I do it?

Yes, you can also do it with 1-click in the User Portal naming your new instance that will be cloned from the master branch and choosing to run it in production or default Magento mode.

Do you have NewRelic connected?

Yes, your instance comes with the NewRelic module pre-installed. The only thing that you need to do is create a NewRelic account and configure a NewRelic license key for your instance in the User Portal.

How can I connect to DB to manage it in WorkBench or a similar tool?

Please, add the public key of the user in the User Portal to connect and refer to Database Access using Graphical Interface guide.

I need to run Magento CLI commands e.g. reindex, how can I do that?

Please, add the public key of the user and refer to SSH Usage guide.

I want to set up a CDN for my site, how can I do it?

There are different CDN providers we support with FREE set up such as Fastly and Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers FREE unlimited CDN or $20 per domain that includes unlimited DDoS attack mitigation and WebP image optimization, which is the most cost-efficient solution by now. Fastly on the other hand offers Varnish cache at the edge, where we store GraphQL responses and WebP optimization as well, but at a higher fee. Please, make your CDN provider choice and we will be happy to assist with FREE setup. Simply contact us through a support request.

I want to set up WebP for my site, how can I do it?

WebP is usually provided by one of the CDN providers such as Cloudflare. We will set up Cloudflare FREE for you once you make a support request.

I know that PWA sites need Server Side Rendering to ensure fast indexation by search engines, do you provide that?

Yes, we connect out of the box Server-Side Rendering (SSR) service recommended by Google - Prerenderer.io, and its fee, based on the number of pages indexed, is added to your monthly resource consumption bill.

Why don't you use CloudFront instead of Cloudflare?

CloudFront only provides CDN and you pay $0.085 per gigabyte. You would require to set up AWS Lambda for WebP optimization and AWS WAF for DDoS protection at an additional cost.

On the other hand with Cloudflare, you get unlimited CDN, WebP optimization, and DDoS protection out of the box for a fixed cost of $20.

Why don't you use AWS ElastiCache?

We can setup AWS ElastiCache if required at an extra cost.

Since ReadyMage only does Magento 2 e-commerce solution infrastructure, we use Redis as per Magento's recommendation and only for isolated Magento purposes allowing us to configure it for optimal performance.

What Database are you using? Why not AWS Aurora?

You can’t export data from AWS Aurora due to it having the proprietary SQL format of AWS.

ReadyMage is using the same database as Magento Cloud - MySQL database.

In terms of backups, ReadyMage has a daily, weekly, and monthly snapshots system in place ensuring high data security.

Do you use Terraform?

We are using Terraform only to create Nodes. Infrastructure provisioning is fully done by Kubernetes manifests.

Can MariaDB data be migrated to ReadyMage?

Since both MariaDB and MySQL databases provide the same set of underlying tools, it is very easy to copy data from MariaDB to MySQL. Using out of the box commands the records would get migrated into MySQL from the provided MariaDB database dump.
