Kubernetes Production Deployment (Recommended)

# Deploy app and workers as separate pods
kubectl create deployment bagisto-app --image=your-bagisto-image:latest
kubectl expose deployment bagisto-app --port=80

• Scalable Web Workers: Scale the PHP-FPM pods automatically to handle high-traffic promotional events.
• Zero-Downtime Deployments: Use rolling updates to release new features and security patches without interruption.
• Durable Storage: Use cloud-native databases and object storage (S3) for maximum data reliability.

Scaling Strategy

• Faceted Search: For catalogs over 5,000 products, always implement Elasticsearch to maintain search performance.
• Asynchronous Jobs: Use Redis and Laravel's native queue workers to handle heavy tasks like email sending and image processing.
• Database Tuning: Regularly optimize your MySQL instance with proper indexing and use read-replicas for catalog browsing.
• Global Delivery: Serve all static assets and product images through a high-performance CDN.

Backup & Safety

• Database Dumps: Automate daily MySQL backups and verify their integrity regularly.
• Storage Snapshots: Regularly snapshot the persistent volumes used for product media and storage.
• HTTPS Enforcement: Always run your store behind a secure reverse proxy with SSL/TLS enabled.
• Environment Security: Securely manage your Laravel .env secrets using Kubernetes Secrets or a dedicated secret manager.
