What is included

The quirks of the platform are known, so the environment is prepared correctly from the start rather than patched after complaints about speed.

Discuss the scope

Environment

Component versions recommended by the platform, with the right parameters.

Performance test

The platform built-in check should give a decent result, otherwise the rest matters little.

Caching

Cache and accelerator settings, with sessions moved out so the site holds up under load.

Headroom for exchanges

Exchange with 1C needs execution time and memory. Default limits cut it off.

Backups

Files and database separately, stored off the server.

Protection

Restricted access to the admin area, updates and defence against common attacks.

How the work runs

Deploying the environment takes a day. Moving an existing site takes one to three days including verification.

01

Sizing

We calculate resources from traffic, catalogue size and how intensive the exchanges are.

02

Environment

We deploy and tune it until the platform test gives a reasonable result.

03

Migration

Files, database, domain and certificate, with the cutover at a quiet time.

04

Verification

Load, the 1C exchange, placing an order and the admin area.

On cheap hosting the exchange with 1C most often breaks because of the script execution time limit. A large catalogue export simply does not finish and fails halfway every time. The cure is tuning the environment, not rewriting the exchange.

Frequently asked questions

For a Bitrix business card site, possibly. For a store with a catalogue and 1C exchange, almost never: there are not enough resources and no way to change the environment parameters. The saving turns into a slow site and broken exports.

Roughly four cores and eight gigabytes of memory for a catalogue of up to a few thousand items with moderate traffic. The 1C exchange needs extra headroom because it comes in spikes.

The disk subsystem and the caching configuration. Fast storage and correctly enabled caching give more than adding cores. We always start by running the platform test: it shows the bottlenecks immediately.

We will set up hosting for Bitrix

Tell us about the site: the catalogue, the traffic and the 1C exchange. We will size the resources and migrate it with no downtime.
