Magento Cluster on MassiveGRID PaaS
The Auto-Scalable Magento Cluster v2 deploys a highly available Magento Open Source topology on MassiveGRID PaaS: a load balancer in front of auto-scaling PHP application servers, a replicated MariaDB cluster, Redis for cache and sessions, a search engine and shared media storage. It is built for stores where downtime and slow checkouts cost money.
Both buttons open the MassiveGRID PaaS dashboard with Magento Cluster pre-selected. The trial needs no credit card.

What is Magento Cluster?
A single Magento server is a single point of failure and a hard performance ceiling. The cluster package removes both. Requests hit a load balancer and are spread across two or more PHP nodes; the database runs as a replicated MariaDB cluster; Redis holds the full-page cache and customer sessions so every node sees the same cart; product images and media live on shared storage; and the search engine runs as its own node. Horizontal auto-scaling adds PHP nodes during campaigns and removes them afterwards.
Version 2 of the package refines the installer with choices for web server type, database replication mode and scaling limits, and wires in the caches and session handling that Magento needs to behave correctly across multiple servers. Everything is described in a JPS manifest you can inspect, so nothing about the architecture is hidden.
What the Magento Cluster Package Deploys
Marketplace packages are not bare container images. One click provisions a complete, production-shaped environment on MassiveGRID infrastructure.
- Load balancer: NGINX or LiteSpeed ADC terminating SSL and distributing requests across the PHP layer with health checks.
- PHP application servers: Two or more NGINX or LiteSpeed PHP nodes running the same Magento code, added and removed by horizontal auto-scaling.
- MariaDB cluster: Galera multi-primary or primary-secondary replication, so a database node can fail without losing orders.
- Redis: Full-page and block cache plus a shared session store, which keeps carts and logins consistent across nodes.
- Search engine and shared storage: Elasticsearch or OpenSearch for catalogue search, and a shared volume for media and static files.
Why Teams Choose Magento Cluster
High availability at every layer
Redundant web, database and cache tiers on MassiveGRID's redundant infrastructure, backed by the 100% uptime SLA.
Elastic capacity for campaigns
Horizontal auto-scaling adds PHP nodes on CPU or memory triggers, so a flash sale is served without over-provisioning all year.
Consistent sessions and cache
Redis-backed sessions and cache mean customers never lose a cart when the balancer moves them to another node.
Same Magento, bigger footprint
Standard Magento Open Source, so every extension, theme and integration works unchanged.

Why Run Magento Cluster on MassiveGRID PaaS
Built for uptime. Magento Cluster runs on MassiveGRID's high-availability platform, where every environment is covered by a 100% uptime SLA. Nodes live on redundant hosts, storage is replicated, and failed containers are restarted or migrated automatically.
Pay for what you use. Billing is hourly and per cloudlet (128 MiB RAM plus 400 MHz CPU). Vertical auto-scaling adds and removes cloudlets as load changes, so a quiet Magento Cluster environment costs a few dollars a month and a busy one grows without a migration. Full details are on the PaaS page.
Your choice of jurisdiction. Deploy in New York, London, Frankfurt or Singapore and keep data inside the region your users or regulators require. MassiveGRID is ISO 9001 certified and GDPR compliant, and has run hosting infrastructure since 2003.
No lock-in. The package is a standard Jelastic Packaging Standard (JPS) manifest. You keep root-level access to the containers, can export the manifest, and can move the workload to any other Jelastic-compatible platform or to your own servers at any time.
