Retail & Marketing – Cloud for online shops

E-commerce: Online shops that deliver under load

From a Shopware shop to a headless commerce platform: infrastructure that can cope with Black Friday and ensures GDPR issues don’t even arise at the checkout.

Why centron

Infrastructure that facilitates rather than hinders

Every second of loading time costs conversions – and every outage costs money. That’s why the basics matter in e-commerce.

Fast loading times

NVMe storage and guaranteed 3.5 GHz CPUs in the Power Pool keep the shop and checkout running smoothly, even when shopping trolleys are full.

Peaks without panic

The Kubernetes AutoScaler automatically handles sales promotions and seasonal business – after which the environment scales back down again.

Secure right through to checkout

SSL certificates, cloud firewalls and daily cBacks protect your online shop, customer data and turnover.

The GDPR as a selling point

Customer data is stored in German data centres certified to C5 standards – a sign of trust for buyers and data protection officers.

From the first shop to a platform

A growth strategy for your business

Get started with a managed server for Shopware, WooCommerce or Magento, and scale up to a Kubernetes environment with a headless frontend as required. Media and product images are delivered via S3 Object Storage with no traffic costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the infrastructure be able to cope with Black Friday?

Yes – that’s exactly what it’s designed for: the Kubernetes AutoScaler automatically adds nodes during peak loads, whilst ccloud³ resources scale on an hourly basis – you only pay for the hours during which the peak load occurs; afterwards, the bill automatically drops again.

How much does it cost to get started?

The starting prices are deliberately low: managed servers from €53.12 per month, Kubernetes from €29.99 per month and S3 Object Storage from €5.00 per month. New accounts receive a €200 starting credit valid for 60 days – you can calculate the cost of your specific configuration transparently using the price calculator.

Can this be implemented in a way that complies with the GDPR?

Yes. In e-commerce, order, payment and customer data are always personal data, and there are also retention periods under commercial law. At centron, this data is processed exclusively in Germany, under a data processing agreement in accordance with Article 28 of the GDPR and with audit-proof backups. Operations take place in certified to ISO 27001 on the basis of IT-Grundschutz data centres; for ccloud³ / Managed Cloud, there is an unrestricted BSI C5:2020 Type 1 certificate. Further details can be found in the Trust Centre.
