3.5.0

Released: November 25, 2019

Release Highlights

  • Added support to deploy horizontal database scaling with Elastic Path Commerce version 7.6.x.

Horizontal database scaling

Horizontal database scaling allows an additional increase in transaction throughput by directing read requests to a cluster of read-only replica databases rather than to the primary database.

note

The simplest and most cost effective way to increase transaction throughput is to scale the database -vertically- and add additional Cortex instances. Horizontal database scaling should be considered only after you have reached the limits of vertical database scalability.

For more information, see the following resources:

  • For upgrade instructions, see the Elastic Path Commerce version 7.6 Release Notes.
  • For a description of horizontal database scaling and implementation instructions, see the Elastic Path Commerce Deployment documentation.
