How Dev Cloud is built

Visitors

Visitors request pages

Intelligent page cache

Varnish serves cached pages without ever hitting the web server. Nginx routes uncached requests to the web server.

Drupal-tuned web server

Optimized for Drupal to process requests fast - querying the database and file server to deliver dynamic content to users quickly.

Files and databases

Files and DBs are stored on highly reliable network RAID volumes. If the web server needs to re-launch, your files and DBs are safe.

Code repo

You commit code to your repo using SVN or Git, and Acquia Cloud deploys it on your web servers automatically.
