AutoScaling WordPress with Docker & AWS
summary
Packaged WordPress as Docker images, automated full AWS stacks with an open source Plesk WordPress AWS scaler (GitHub + Docker Hub) that provisions EC2, ELB, RDS, S3 for uploads, CloudFront, CloudWatch and autoscaling via AWS CLI. Uses immutable-server redeploys for updates, passes user-data to launch configs, and exposes create/update/scale/console commands. Benchmarks hit about 1,000 requests per second with a 99 ms fastest call and ~1.4–1.5 s average from clients with no caching.
