Compared to traditional retail models, e-commerce businesses heavily rely on technological infrastructure. The platform for deploying an e-commerce site is the first and most critical factor to consider, as it serves as the foundation for the entire online business, providing a comprehensive online store for customers.
Challenges in infrastructure to handle fluctuating traffic and transactions
Infrastructure challenges are particularly evident during peak sales seasons and when scaling e-commerce operations. E-commerce businesses face massive data volumes and continuous transaction processing demands when managing websites or applications.
During the recent 11/11 sales event, an e-commerce app witnessed a fivefold increase in user traffic compared to regular days, reaching an all-time transaction peak. Hosting an e-commerce site on existing physical servers requires significant investment in powerful servers capable of handling and storing large data volumes.
Traditional setups lack auto-scaling and load balancing capabilities, leading to slowdowns or outages during traffic spikes. Manual intervention to add servers is time-consuming and labor-intensive, often taking days. This downtime results in poor customer experiences, lost revenue, and long-term brand damage.
Maintaining high-performance physical servers significantly increases operational costs, requiring additional IT personnel to manage complex technical demands. Underutilized resources (CPU, RAM, memory) further exacerbate inefficiencies.
To address traffic surges during peak periods, businesses are transitioning to remote cloud servers, enabling automatic scalability. This ensures stable 24/7 performance during high-demand campaigns at lower costs.
According to Deloitte, 30% of e-commerce companies reported improved transaction speeds and customer experiences after adopting cloud services.
E-commerce businesses tackle traffic challenges with cloud solutions
Infrastructure limitations hinder scaling efforts, impacting peak sales campaigns. Bizfly Cloud offers a solution combining Cloud Server with Auto Scaling, Load Balancer, and Healthcheck technologies to ensure 24/7 e-commerce stability during sales events.
Auto Scaling infrastructure based on CPU/memory usage
Cloud Server’s Auto Scaling automatically adjusts resources or servers based on CPU/memory thresholds, optimizing costs while ensuring stability. This prevents bottlenecks during peak hours and reduces manual intervention.
Load Balancer (traffic distribution across servers)
Load Balancer evenly distributes traffic across cloud servers, preventing overloads. When paired with Auto Scaling, it automatically routes traffic to new servers, maintaining seamless e-commerce performance as demand rises.
Health Check (removing faulty servers)
Health Check identifies and isolates faulty servers, replacing them with functional ones. This ensures system stability during high traffic, with no manual intervention required.
The entire process is automated, providing a self-sustaining system that scales effortlessly to meet traffic and transaction demands during sales events, Black Friday, or business growth phases, all while optimizing costs.
The global cloud computing market is projected to double by 2026. Cloud technology offers unparalleled flexibility, security, and scalability for businesses, including e-commerce. Expanding an online store can take mere seconds compared to months for a physical store—a testament to cloud’s capabilities.
