Cloud Computing

2020 was a year like no other, and among the many things that we had to get accustomed to was the lack of offline events. If you’re a professional who likes to connect with the local community or attend conferences and learn from the best in your industry, we’re sure this was a bitter pill to swallow.

With the growth in popularity of online retailing and technological advancement, today, eCommerce customer expectations are sky-high. Over the last years, in particular, Amazon Prime and same-day delivery have fueled customers’ ‘want it now’ mentality.

Year after year, online retailers register record earnings on Black Friday and the following weekend. And we bet you want a piece (as big as possible) of those earnings too.

One of the things that keep online shop owners awake at night is – will my website withstand the Black Friday traffic? As this is one of the most important days of the year, a downtime of even a few minutes can translate into thousands of dollars in losses.

Black Friday is the most important event of the year for eCommerce shops. However, it’s not a stress-free day for most online retailers. Why? Because there are many technical issues that can cause Black Friday website crashes.

If you’re having trouble with constant deployments that take hours of DevOps, manually scaling your servers and high cloud spend, we’re going to show you how to overcome them by using a cloud infrastructure management tool.

DevOps culture started to shape the world of software a few years ago, when business challenges pushed delivery to next level. Since then, many business organisations have adopted DevOps in their processes and the number of adopters is steadily increasing.

So, let’s see,  what’s next year preparing for the DevOps world in terms of progress. And how can Bunnyshell help you stay ahead of the competition, in 2020 and forever after?

Most e-commerce businesses that think about cloud adoption have a one-step at a time approach. They address specific needs as they arise. At the opposite pole are the online shops that don’t have a strategy in place and are subject to “cloud sprawl”. Cloud sprawl usually occurs when different departments inside the same organization are contracting for cloud services independently of each other. As a result, this situation drives up costs and can lead to issues with compliance and security.

Many e-commerce businesses understand the need to move their infrastructure to the cloud. Maintaining the user experience in the event of traffic spikes and slow page load time, being vigilant about customer data security because online stores are often targets for cybercriminals, having a reliable solution for backups, are just a few of the reasons shop owners think about moving to the cloud. Choosing the right cloud provider, however, can be an overwhelming decision.

Even though it might seem like a tough concept to grasp and apply, the idea of multi-cloud computing is a simple one: It’s the choice of a business to distribute its assets, redundancies, software, applications, and anything it deems worthy not on one cloud-hosting environment, but rather across several.
