Stable and Fast Magento 1.9

Talk about word of mouth. Found out about this from a developer that worked at a marketing agency that I do business with in Western Europe.

What's great about this is I was able to use the PHP 5/7 for testing as I needed the extra speed of PHP 7, but some of the older Magento Modules are not designed for 7. Plus I needed all of the M1 security updates.

Solution was to launch two of the same stacks {just make a copy of the AMI} and switch one to 5.6 and the other to 7.0, and then have your production image.

This way you can QA all modules on 7 before deployment or install to production.

Worked like a charm! Their support was excellent too, and that is what I'm paying for.

Cheers!
