Cloud infrastructure is the way forward for modern commerce deployments
Cloud-native commerce guarantees security, reliability,
and better outcomes for your business.
Why choose cloud-native?
Cloud-native infrastructure is a cornerstone of composable e-commerce. Modern, service-based, API-first, cloud-native architecture is how businesses balance scale, security, and innovation.
Benefits
Self-hosted and on-prem solutions are out there, but here are a few reasons why it makes sense to invest in a cloud-native commerce platform.
Manage demand peaks, scale across markets, and deliver a consistent experience no matter where your customers are.
Cloud infrastructure enables you to adjust computing resources and power as needed, rather than managing it all yourself and risking outages.
Invest in your business, not your hardware.
A cloud-based model lowers total cost of ownership by replacing expensive hardware, IT overhead, maintenance, and license management with predictable operating costs.
When cloud infrastructure is a part of a manged service, it ensures peace of mind and security and reliability without any extra work on top of of your core business.
Providers like Microsoft Azure guarantee a level of enterprise-grade security and regular audits that on-prem or self-managed solutions can't compete with.
User behavior and expectations are changing constantly, and digital commerce success means keeping up. In traditional hosting setups, customization and iteration easily block platform upgrades, creating version debt and security risks.
Cloud infrastructure streamlines CI/CD pipelines, so you can launch improvements without having to worry about downtime.
