Frequently asked questions
Cloud is a key term that everybody is trying to get on board with, whether they have it or not. When you hear the claim of being “on” the cloud, it’s important to check if a solution is merely hosted within a virtual environment (VM) in the cloud as this would not offer the many advantages of the true cloud.
Cloud-native applications allow flexibility in creating desired customer experiences without vendor lock-in. You are able to build functions the way it best works for your business with the reliability, scalability, and performance provided by the cloud.
commercetools is agnostic to cloud infrastructure providers. In case you have existing investments or have built integrations/extensions in a cloud environment, we can run all commerce capabilities in the cloud environment of your choice and meet our SLAs.
The choice of cloud provider depends highly on a business, their goals, teams and more. Most of our customers happen to have a preference for GCP, though we support the other main providers as well.
