Focus on content, let pantheon do the heavy lifting.
Overall Satisfaction with Pantheon
Use case: we primarily used it to leverage serverless CMS deployment for our subsite that is developed on WordPress. Scope Of Usage: we used it to host our blog and share updates with our community. we employe whole department of content writer and marketing folks, thus continues stream of blog post was estimated. if we had chosen traditional server, we'd have to scale it manually, This is where Pantheon comes in handy, it provides our site on serverless platform so we'll never have to worry about scalability. on top of it, we needed in-depth insights of applications. Pantheon provides performance monitoring using New Relic. this was epitome of this service because we were actively monitoring performance gain and bottlenecks. it aligned pretty well with our agenda of optimizing our website for performance across all device.
Pros
- Performance monitoring.
- CDN
- Serverless
Cons
- Since it can host CMS, it would be nice if it could also host Laravel.
- Caching is not on-par compared with AWS Elasticache.
- Less DevOps task.
- Focus on content.
- Performance insight to improve the deliverables.
Yes - AWS Lightsail: it was a manual deployment and required technical knowledge to deploy and reflect changes over time. Caching was also being done manually using AWS CloudFront. The database was self-hosted on the same instance. Caching was mostly managed through plugins and AWS CloudFront. Monitoring was done via AWS CloudWatch along with alarms which work well but had to be set up manually.
Although it may seem a good fit for a company that needs extra control over the deployment process and development process, for a firm that is mainly concentrating on SEO, it would be an overkill. Pantheon provides that sweet automation that allows us to shed some weight on development and focus on our business activities.
