Why Google Cloud and commercetools are the perfect match
commercetools is unique among commerce platforms in that it requires a cloud. The cloud is where extensions and customizations to commercetools are made and hosted. You also need a cloud for building and running your own microservices and frontend(s). commercetools is the only commerce platform that's in the cloud as a first-class citizen, not on the cloud using it just for computer hosting. Commerce platforms that are on the cloud have no access to the underlying cloud and all of the innovation those clouds can unlock.
We at commercetools are multi-tenant SaaS and, therefore, use a cloud in order to run our services. This white paper explains how Google Cloud and commercetools have come together to provide the best platform for your next-generation commerce initiatives.
