Hosting Wordpress DB separately in Magento Cloud
We are planning to migrate from 1.9.x to Magento Commerce Cloud. We have wordpress separately for blog related modules. Currently we have it as a separate DB hosted in same AWS RDS.
When we move to magento cloud how do we keep database separately for Wordpress? Any suggestions and advice on the steps would be much appreciated.

Re: Hosting Wordpress DB separately in Magento Cloud
You should be able to continue hosting your WordPress database with AWS RDS and just connect to it from Magento Commerce Cloud.
For the steps to achieve this, it will be best for you to get in touch with the Magento Commerce Cloud team directly: https://magento.com/contact-us

Re: Hosting Wordpress DB separately in Magento Cloud
You can definitely use the external DB for WP. You need to make sure that your RDS instance is accessible from Magento cloud (IP must be whitelisted). Once that is confirm you need to update the DB details in WP configuration (wp-config.php) file.

Re: Hosting Wordpress DB separately in Magento Cloud
To keep the WordPress database separate when migrating to Magento Commerce Cloud:
- Set up a new AWS RDS instance for WordPress.
- Export the existing WordPress database.
- Import the database into the new RDS instance.
- Update the WordPress configuration (wp-config.php) to reflect the new database credentials.
- Test WordPress to ensure it functions correctly.
- Proceed with the Magento Commerce Cloud migration.
