Technology Stack

Vanilla uses modern technology across our software application, hosting environment, monitoring tools and security tools.

The main technolgies we use are:

REACT - a javascript library used for the interfaces (front end)
PHP - the main programming language
NGINX - the web server software
Percona (a version of mySQL) - the database
Openstack - the platform that we use to manage virtual servers
Cloudflare - a service that provides caching, DNS and DDoS protection

Hosting infrastructure:

Vanilla sites are hosted on virtual server clusters. Smaller customers are on shared clusters, i.e. many sites per cluster. Larger customers are on dedicated clusters, i.e. one site per cluster. A dedicated cluster provides a better guarantee of performance and additional security and integration features. Enterprise customers have dedicated databases and smaller customers can upgrade to a dedicated database on a shared cluster. In the case of shared databases, customer data is logically partitioned, i.e. customers' data is never mixed together in a single database table.
