What It Is
Jelastic is a cloud platform that allows developers to create, deploy, and manage applications with ease. It's a cloud hosting platform that simplifies the process of deploying and managing applications.
Jelastic is built on top of a multi-cloud infrastructure, which means it can run on multiple cloud providers such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). This gives developers the flexibility to choose the cloud provider that best suits their needs.

Jelastic is designed to be highly scalable, allowing developers to quickly scale their applications up or down as needed. This is made possible by Jelastic's auto-scaling feature, which automatically adjusts the number of instances based on traffic and resource usage.
Developers can deploy a wide range of applications on Jelastic, including PHP, Ruby, Python, Node.js, and Java applications. This makes it a versatile platform for developers to deploy and manage their applications.
Features and Benefits
Jelastic's platform is designed to provide a scalable and secure environment for your applications.
It supports a wide range of programming languages and frameworks, including Java, PHP, Ruby, Python, and .NET.
The platform allows for automatic scaling, which means your application will automatically adjust to changes in traffic or demand.
This ensures your application is always available to users, even during periods of high usage.
Jelastic also provides a built-in load balancer, which helps distribute traffic evenly across multiple instances of your application.
This helps prevent any one instance from becoming overwhelmed and ensures a smooth user experience.
High-Performance WordPress Installs
High-performance WordPress installs are a breeze with Jelastic. Jelastic uses a performance-optimized stack and cluster/scaling technology to ensure your site always has the resources it needs, leading to a quick-loading WordPress site that can handle scale.
Jelastic has earned Top Tier status in all tiers of Review Signal's 2020 hosting benchmarks, which is a testament to its high-performance capabilities. This means you can trust Jelastic to deliver fast and reliable WordPress installs.
You can choose from six pre-made WordPress environments in the Jelastic Marketplace, including options for WordPress Cluster Kit v2, WordPress Cluster Business, and WordPress Standalone Pro. Each environment comes with its own set of resources and features.
Here are some of the key options available in the Jelastic Marketplace:
With Jelastic, you can choose your scaling strategy to control how fast the system responds during traffic spikes. You can also access important features for your cluster through add-ons, such as scaling, backups, and security.
Understanding Cloudlets
A Jelastic appliance is not a genuine virtual machine, but rather an encapsulated application. This means it can't independently access the resources of another cloudlet.
This arrangement keeps applications from influencing each other, which helps prevent resource contention and data theft. This is a major benefit of using cloudlets, as it ensures applications run smoothly and securely.
Deployment and Management
Deploying a WordPress site with Jelastic is surprisingly simple, even for non-developers. I was prepared to be overwhelmed, but the interface made things easier.
You can change the "Environment Topology" to have detailed control over resources and billing. This includes setting how many resources to reserve and setting a scaling limit.
