AWS or Google Cloud or ...?

[JulesV]

From what I've seen, a high number of license authentications isn't something classic WordPress sites can handle on shared hosting with limited php workers on it.

And the professional approach is to have separate website hosting and license authentication systems. What do you use for this? My research shows AWS and Google Cloud are commonly used. But I'm not sure if serverless or a traditional system would be better. (AWS Lambda, AWS EC2...etc. which one to choose?)

I hope knowledgeable guys can help; I really need clarification.

@JulesV I use elest.io

@David-Healey Thank you for the info.

Is this cheaper than AWS and GC?

Do you think its performance is good when many users are loading simultaneously?

@JulesV I haven't looked into aws or gc for this kind of thing so I don't know how the price compares.

I use elest to host my wordpress site and it also manages my license system. I haven't noticed any issues due to traffic, but my licensing system is very simple.
