Cloud Hosting & Infrastructure for E-Commerce
Hosting, CDN and caching that keep checkout fast when traffic spikes.
Designed against
- PCI DSS
- GDPR
- CCPA
We build and document to these frameworks. We are not an audit firm and do not issue attestations.
- 01
The worst day to discover a capacity ceiling is your best day
Black Friday, a product launch or a piece of press coverage arrives with a traffic profile nothing has been tested against. Autoscaling that has never been load-tested is a hypothesis.
- 02
Checkout latency is measured in lost revenue
Page speed converts. Every extra second between basket and confirmation has a measurable cost, and the slow parts are usually database queries and third-party scripts, not the server.
- 03
Card data drags the whole estate into scope
Without deliberate segmentation, PCI DSS scope expands to include systems that never needed to be in it, multiplying the cost and effort of every assessment.
Controls, not features
Each of these produces its own evidence as a by-product of running normally, so the proof exists before anyone asks for it.
- Load testing against a realistic peak profile before the season, not during it
- CDN and cache strategy covering static assets, pages and API responses
- Autoscaling with tested scale-up time and health checks that remove failing nodes
- Database query analysis and read-replica strategy for the checkout path
- Segmentation that keeps cardholder data environments narrow and assessable
- A rehearsed rollback for every deployment during freeze periods

About E-Commerce & Retail
Ask Something ElseYes, and it needs to start early. We load-test against a realistic peak profile, fix what breaks, agree a change freeze, and add monitoring and on-call cover for the period. Turning up two weeks before Black Friday limits us to guessing.
They are usually telling the truth. Store slowness is most often unindexed queries, cache misses on the wrong pages, or third-party scripts blocking rendering. We measure where the time actually goes first, because upgrading a server that is not the bottleneck is the most common wasted spend here.
We manage the infrastructure under self-hosted platforms such as Magento and WooCommerce: hosting, caching, databases, backups and scaling. Fully hosted platforms like Shopify have no infrastructure for us to run, so there we focus on integrations and automation.
