Broadleaf Commerce Discussion Forums

Hi,

I am trying to figure out the infrastructure requirements like the instance types, storage etc to host both admin & site apps on amazon cloud. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Srini.

We also have this requirement. We have plans to use an EC2 as a staging server for broadleaf. for now we see that a large EC2 instance is more than enough to run broadleaf. I assume youll be also running mysql server, apache http server in the same instance. A Large instance can cater all this.

There's a thing i must warn you about using a EC2 server. Through experience we've noticed that EC2s memory allocation sucks. If they say you get a 8GB. This is a shared memory allocation. Others can use this too. So be careful when you run programs which requires a lot of memory (ETL scripts). I would never choose a EC2 instance as production environment.
