If you are looking to build an ecommerce site then probably you will be ending up employing magento to get it done. And why not, when it stands out on top with more than 26% market share to pose itself as the most popular ecommerce framework. However, deploying a magento website comes with its own set of challenges. Issues such as long page loading time, time lag in execution for PHP scripts and code return errors etc., requires an experienced magento ecommerce developer to handle. At the same time, increasing popularity and dependence upon cloud computing are able to solve a lot of challenges arising within magento projects. Let us go through the challenges in brief and see how can they be addressed with cloud computing?Openxcell, a leading magento ecommerce developer caters to a lot of magento ecommerce development requests. “We have created a number of magento websites and we know the pros and cons of the framework. It is a fact that magento is the most scalable and flexible framework with a lot of useful extensions but has its own share of challenges. However, with affordable cloud computing resources these issues can be easily resolved.”-says Jayneel, managing director of openxcell.
One of the major drawback working with magento is, it gives a lot of load on the servers. Magento’s code structure is based on PHP and with increasing data volume and site assets, the code execution gets slower on the client side, leading to an increased page loading time. Long page loading time increases the bounce rate of the site which in turns affects the search engine rankings negatively.
Magento developers at openxcell say that they resorted mostly to the AWS services to resolve such issues. AWS with an optimal EC2 instance, in combination with a cloudfront always works the best for magento stores. Cloudfront is a great platform for small medium businesses for distributing the static files of the magento sites to the client side. When file types such as images, javascript, CSS and other assets are cached, the load on your servers automatically decreases, leading to lesser loading time on client side.
Developers at openxcell also suggest that cloud computing features especially of amazon can be easily used in conjunction with dedicated servers set up by the. These dedicated servers might be used to store the website assets that can be synced with cloud servers to reduce loading time as well as serve a large number of users during a peak traffic. This kind of an structure falls under the hybrid architecture and can be extremely efficient for a magento ecommerce website, if done right.
There is a lot of scope that cloud computing architecture provides to magento developers. Affordability of cloud computing infrastructure are bringing in a lot of small-medium business to ecommerce with their own set of challenges. This massive growth is leading a lot of transformation within the magento framework and giving rise to newer architectures to host a magento website efficiently. As time pass by, the benefits would only increase, solving the latent issues arising out of the popular e commerce development platform.
