The pioneer
AWS (Amazon Web Services) is the top dog among hyperscalers. Launched in 2006, AWS now covers 38 geographic regions (with more in the pipeline) and currently has 117 availability zones, over 700 CloudFront PoPs, 13 regional edge caches, and 43 local and wavelength zones with extremely low latency. This gives AWS an edge in terms of availability and scalability, with high performance and flexibility.
AWS is also making steps in terms of compliance and sustainability. An important touchstone here is the AWS European Sovereign Cloud, which is designed to meet the high demands of the public sector. To reduce its carbon footprint, Amazon has been the largest corporate purchaser of renewable energy for five years in a row and is investing in over 600 carbon-free energy projects.
E-commerce has its own specific challenges, which can be mitigated by using AWS.
Promotions
If a store has special requirements for fast, intensive scalability, for example, if it regularly runs large promotions, then AWS is an inexpensive way to absorb peak loads and ensure content delivery.
Serverless
If customers want to focus on software development and want the infrastructure to adapt to this, then “serverless” is an interesting approach. Automatic scaling, automatic capacity management, and flexible resource management – AWS offers a range of opportunities.
Internationalization
If cross-regional strategies are to be pursued and international markets served, customers in the cloud can achieve short response and delivery times for their shops by using content delivery networks or globally replicating and region-specific services.
Full service at
kick-off and in operations
AWS offers extensive possibilities for e-commerce platforms, but also pitfalls that not only make operations unnecessarily expensive, but in the worst case can also hinder them. This is where Metaways comes in as an experienced partner and service provider. We advise you right from the start of the platform concept, take care of the setup, and ensure smooth operation with our 24/7 AWS management. Our customers always remain flexible and independent.
If desired, customers can choose to be contractual partners of Amazon Web Services, allowing them to decide at any time whether they still need Metaways’ support or would prefer to go it alone. Until then, they benefit from our experience in the technical handling of large e-commerce platforms, allowing them to explore opportunities for success with our backing.
Custom-tailored PaaS
Our Platform-as-a-Service in the AWS cloud offers complete flexibility in the choice of platform technology. This means you are free to decide whether to process workloads using highly available AWS SaaS services with scalable EC2 compute nodes or to run the entire platform in containers in Kubernetes in order to make optimal use of compute resources, easily deploy applications, and benefit from rapid scaling. You always have complete freedom to choose the AWS region.
Over the years, successful technology partnerships have developed with a number of software manufacturers. With Pimcore, Shopware, Spryker, and others, we implement sophisticated, high-performance PaaS projects for our customers in B2C and B2B business and contribute our best practices and broad software-specific knowledge on a daily basis to ensure successful operation and satisfied customers.
