Idealstack helps you set up a modern best-practice AWS stack

There’s a lot of tools out there that will manage a server on AWS or other cloud platforms.

Idealstack doesn’t just manage a server, it manages a Stack, made out of 25+ different AWS services. We help you do things “the way they should be done” on AWS, inspired by the principles of the AWS Well Architected Framework

Don't just setup a server

Run a modern best-practice cluster

 

<?php
    //How do I use highly-available sessions across my cluster using DynamoDB?
    // It happens automatically, just use normal PHP session functions:
    session_start();
    $_SESSION['Normal Session Stuff'] = 'Easy!';
    
    //How do I send email using AWS's Simple Email Service?
    // Just use normal PHP mail functions:
    mail('joe.blogs@example.com',
        "Here's an email through SES!",
        "Just sent you this with the normal PHP mail command");
    
    //How do I read and write files on a highly-available clustered file store?
    // Just use normal PHP file IO:
    $file_contents = file_get_contents("myfile.txt");
    file_put_contents("myfile.txt", "How easy was that");
    
    //How do I connect to a clustered, highly available mysql-compatible database?
    // Idealstack sets all this up for you, 
    // including the alias 'database' for your db hostname
    $mysqli = new mysqli('database', 'your_user', 'your_pass', 'your_db');
    
    
    //How do I compress and minify the output of my PHP
    // app to get higher performance and google rank?
    // mod_pagespeed does it automatically:
    echo "<!-- Do nothing, it happens automatically with google's mod_pagespeed -->";
    
    //How do I make my app autoscale?
    // It'll happen automatically:
    $todo = null;
    

No need to change your code

 

Idealstack can cluster-enable any PHP app, while still letting it take advantage of the power of AWS. It does this by supporting all the normal PHP functions but transparently mapping them to the appropriate AWS services.

You don't need to change your code or use the AWS API, and this also means you can run any PHP app like Wordpress, Laravel apps, or your own custom code, even legacy apps.
