Drupal Brief: Scaling WordPress on AWS The Four Paths

Send us a text

In this episode, we cut through the noise surrounding WordPress hosting on AWS and break down what teams really need to know. Based on a deep-dive technical analysis, we explore every major path—from DIY EC2 setups and database tuning on RDS, to EFS-powered multi-server clusters, Lightsail quick starts, AWS reference architectures, and even container-based deployments on ECS and EKS.

You’ll hear why each approach comes with its own trade-offs: hidden complexity, rising engineering costs, scaling challenges, or the risk of getting locked into brittle infrastructure. Then we shift gears and look at a new way forward.

We introduce DevPanel, a platform that brings the power of Kubernetes, GitOps workflows, automated deployments, multi-environment pipelines, and full infrastructure ownership—all without requiring DevOps experts or custom engineering. Think of it as the automation and simplicity of managed hosting platforms… but deployed inside your own AWS account, with no lock-in, no black boxes, and no compromises.

If you’re a developer, agency, or technical leader evaluating how to get enterprise-grade WordPress performance and control on AWS, this episode gives you the clarity you’ve been searching for.
