E-Commerce Infrastructure

Absorb sale traffic, serve product media fast, and keep shopper data in the EU.

In short

E-commerce and retail platforms run storefronts and backends on enum's European public cloud: Managed Kubernetes that scales for traffic peaks, S3-compatible object storage for product media, and VPC networking in Frankfurt. Pricing stays in euros with GDPR-aligned customer data residency.

What retail teams hit

Infrastructure pressure that shows up on launch days and in privacy reviews.

  • Traffic spikes during sales, drops, and campaigns
  • Product images and media that outgrow ad-hoc storage
  • Customer data that must stay under GDPR residency rules
  • Checkout paths that cannot go down when the ads work

What you run on enum

Capacity and storage shaped for catalog and checkout workloads.

  • Auto-scaling Kubernetes for surge traffic
  • S3-compatible object storage for catalogs and media
  • Frankfurt region with GDPR-aligned data residency
  • High-availability clusters with a 99.9% control-plane SLA

How shops run on enum

From catalog storage to peak-season capacity.

1

Put media in object storage

Store product images, exports, and backups in S3-compatible buckets in Frankfurt.

2

Run apps on Kubernetes

Deploy storefronts, APIs, and workers on Managed Kubernetes. Scale replicas when campaigns land.

3

Front traffic cleanly

Use VPC networking and L4 load balancing so checkout and browse stay on separate capacity when you need them to.

What changes

  • Headroom for sale days without a last-minute capacity scramble
  • Product media that scales without a second storage vendor story
  • Customer data residency you can state clearly in privacy docs

FAQ

Can enum handle Black Friday-style peaks?
Kubernetes workloads scale horizontally with demand. You size node pools and autoscaling for your peak, and the control plane stays highly available with a 99.9% SLA.
Where should product images live?
In enum Object Storage: S3-compatible, encrypted, and hosted in Frankfurt. Most teams point their CDN or image pipeline at those buckets.
Does customer data stay in the EU?
Yes. Compute, storage, and networking for your workloads run in Frankfurt under German and EU jurisdiction.
How is this priced for seasonal traffic?
You pay for the resources you use, in euros. Scale up for the campaign window and scale down afterward without reserved-instance lock-in.
