Bunnyshell does just that: it puts your infrastructure on autopilot. Around here, we have a saying: “Deploy and forget”. What this means is that we lower the complexity of deploying applications to cloud so much that even a non-technical person can do it.

Even though it’s still a pretty complex concept to grasp and achieve for the late majority of companies, DevOps has goodies for everyone in the software chain: developers, operations, QA and also touches the business side of things: managers who monetize the software and executives who worry about the bottom line.

We find the origins of commerce in the prehistoric times when trading became a principal facility of prehistoric people, who bartered whatever goods and services they had. Today, living in the digital era, the classical notion of commerce came into e-commerce. And since the world of retail is undergoing an unprecedented wave of innovation, e-commerce is still on the rise.

We’re dependent on the Internet; and the internet? It’s dependent on high availability architecture. What would you do if it just stopped working one day? No work. No social media sites. No streaming channels. What would we do with ourselves? 

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.

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.

While some customers take an amazing online shopping experience for granted, many will leave in a heartbeat if an eCommerce store gets it wrong. 

And there are a lot of things that can go wrong, unfortunately. 

Companies are starting to pay even more attention to data security. GDPR compliance, data breaches, and hackers are just some of the issues related to data security. Knowing this, businesses are trying to find a better alternative to in-house servers that are no longer secure.

As a business, having your product run on a high-performant infrastructure is a must. When everything runs smoothly, your customers have a great experience, and you can see your traffic increase exponentially.
