We’re excited to announce a major update to the GoWiz stack, bringing enhanced performance, compatibility, and flexibility to our users. Here’s what’s new:
OpenSearch Indexer Replaces Elasticsearch
To keep pace with modern search and analytics demands, we’ve integrated OpenSearch as the default indexer for all new GoWiz servers. This shift from Elasticsearch ensures improved scalability, open-source flexibility, and robust search capabilities. Existing users can continue using Elasticsearch, but all new deployments will leverage OpenSearch for a seamless and future-proof experience.
Full Compliance with Magento 2.4.8
The GoWiz stack is now fully compliant with Magento 2.4.8, ensuring your e-commerce platform runs smoothly with the latest security patches, performance optimizations, and features. This update guarantees compatibility with Magento’s newest requirements, so you can focus on growing your business without worrying about platform limitations.
PHP 8.3 Support Added
We’ve added support for PHP 8.3, bringing faster execution, improved type safety, and modern language features to your GoWiz environment. This upgrade empowers developers to build more efficient and secure applications while staying aligned with the latest PHP advancements.
Why This Matters
These updates make the GoWiz stack more powerful and adaptable, whether you’re running a high-traffic Magento store or building custom applications. OpenSearch delivers cutting-edge search performance, Magento 2.4.8 compliance ensures stability, and PHP 8.3 support unlocks new development possibilities.
