Supported Technologies
Elastic Path provides support if Elastic Path Commerce is deployed on supported platforms, such as certified and compatible platforms.
Certified Platform
Elastic Path products undergo regression and performance testing with certified platforms as part of the release process. These technologies have proven stability and performance and are the recommended configuration for Elastic Path products. Elastic Path’s deployment documentation and performance guides include recommendations and best practices for use of certified platforms with Elastic Path products.
Compatible Platform
Elastic Path products are expected to function correctly when deployed with compatible platforms, but have not undergone testing with such platforms. Elastic Path does not provide recommendations or best practices for these technologies. It is the client’s responsibility to correctly configure and provision these technologies with the associated vendor. Where a compatible platform is used in place of a certified platform, Elastic Path provides application level support and will address issues reported within the core Elastic Path software product. However, Elastic Path has limited ability to triage issues within compatible platforms that cannot be reproduced in a certified platform configuration.

note
MySQL 8.0 has been downgraded from certified to compatible due to significant performance issues identified during performance testing. We are investigating possible configuration options in MySQL 8.0 to address the performance issues so we may re-certify MySQL 8.0 at a later date.
For customers concerned about the upcoming end-of-life for MySQL 5.7 coming up in Oct 2023, we recommend considering migrating to PostgreSQL 13.
