Kubernetes Architecture for E-commerce
Building a Secure, Fast, and Reliable Business
Scaling E-commerce with Kubernetes
Key Challenges
Scalability for your e-commerce business: manage more visitors and transactions during high periods such as Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
Enhance e-commerce security: automatically encrypt data in transit and at rest and control access to sensitive data and resources.
Reduce costs: independent microservices enable online stores to scale components up or down to handle fluctuations in demand. Kubernetes for e-commerce offers a high level of fault tolerance and resilience by automatically identifying and replacing broken nodes, minimizing downtime and ensuring your consumers have an uninterrupted shopping experience.
Transparent and predictable infrastructure costs

Sovereignty and Sustainable Ecosystem for E-commerce
Sovereignty
Scaleway is a European Cloud Provider which is only subject to the EU regulations and your Cloud Provider is not a E-commerce competitor that tries to reach the same client.
Sustainable ecosystem
Scaleway runs a proactive policy in terms of sustainability, running data centers with adiabatic cooling systems and buying energy only from renewable sources.
Foreseeable Cost
Kubernetes Kapsule provides an extended free tier usage for its control plane, and you only have to pay for the underlying instances, which are available at an affordable and predictable hourly rate. Moreover, you have the ability to set limits on the autoscaling feature, ensuring that you are not charged unexpectedly.
