Cloud and edge decisions influence hosting, observability, deployment flow, security posture, and how fast a commerce team can ship. We use that broader lens when we compare AWS, GCP, Vercel, Cloudflare, Fastly, and similar infrastructure choices.
Cloud is rarely only a hosting question. It affects environments, security controls, deployment speed, observability, CDN strategy, and who can safely operate the stack after launch.
That is why we evaluate cloud and edge platforms from the wider ecommerce operating model, not only from a vendor checklist.
Use the pages in this category to compare where different infrastructure directions fit best: broad cloud capability, edge-heavy delivery, streamlined frontend workflows, or stronger control over traffic and performance.
The goal is to make cloud decisions easier to connect to platform choice, integration scope, and day-to-day delivery responsibility.
Switch focus areas without leaving the landing-page flow.
Platform overview
These are the platforms that often show up inside this category.
AWS is strongest when the cloud setup has to cover more than hosting.
We evaluate AWS from the full operating model: environments, security, observability, edge needs, and how the ecommerce team will actually deploy and run the solution.

Cloudflare is strongest when edge, performance, and protection need to move together.
We evaluate Cloudflare around performance, WAF and edge capabilities, routing behavior, and how the wider ecommerce stack should be exposed and protected.

Google Cloud / GCP fits when cloud delivery has to scale with the stack.
We evaluate GCP together with deployment model, integrations, observability, and the parts of the commerce stack that need to remain fast and operable over time.

Vercel works best when frontend delivery speed is a real business lever.
We evaluate Vercel together with frontend architecture, API boundaries, preview flow, and ownership model so the team can ship faster without losing control.

Fastly fits when performance and edge logic are part of the product.
We evaluate Fastly around caching strategy, edge behavior, security posture, and the release model so performance gains hold up under real traffic.

Hetzner fits when the team wants leaner hosting with real control.
We evaluate Hetzner around hosting model, deployment discipline, observability, and how much operational responsibility the ecommerce team should keep in-house.
