Cloud infrastructure for the services around your storefront, from data warehousing to the APIs that keep systems in step.

How we build composable ecommerce experiences with Google Cloud.

A composable stack has work that belongs to none of its platforms. Data that needs consolidating, integrations that need somewhere to run, jobs that need to happen on a schedule and be visible when they fail.

We use Google Cloud for that layer. BigQuery when reporting needs data from several systems in one place, managed services for the integrations that keep commerce and the ERP in step, and monitoring so a failure surfaces before a customer finds it. This is plumbing rather than a product decision, and it should be sized to the problem.

Is Google Cloud right for my ecommerce brand?

Who it's for

Brands running a composable stack where several systems have to stay in step and someone has to own the connective tissue.

  • Businesses with an ERP, a commerce platform and a warehouse to reconcile
  • Teams who need reporting across systems rather than per system
  • Brands already using BigQuery or Google Analytics for reporting

What it solves

  • Reporting needs data from several systems and someone joins it by hand
  • Integrations fail silently and nobody notices until a customer complains
  • Scheduled jobs run on a server nobody wants to be responsible for
  • There is no single place to see whether the stack is healthy

Common questions about hosting your ecommerce infrastructure on Google Cloud.

Why would an ecommerce brand need cloud infrastructure at all?

Because a composable stack leaves gaps. Integrations, scheduled jobs and cross-system reporting have to live somewhere, and that somewhere should be managed and monitored rather than a server under a desk.

Do we need Google Cloud if we are on Shopify?

Not for the storefront. Shopify hosts that. It becomes relevant when you have an ERP, a warehouse system and a marketing platform that all need to agree, and you want that integration layer properly run rather than improvised.

What is BigQuery useful for in ecommerce?

Answering questions that span systems. Margin by channel, cohort behaviour by acquisition source, stock turns against forecast. None of those live cleanly in a single platform's reporting, and joining them in a spreadsheet every month is not a reporting strategy.

How much does this cost to run?

It scales with what you actually use, which is both an advantage and a risk. Poorly designed queries and jobs can cost far more than they should. We size and monitor it deliberately rather than letting it drift.

Can this work alongside AWS or Azure?

Yes. Most brands end up with more than one cloud somewhere, and that is not automatically a problem. It only becomes one when the same job is duplicated across two of them because nobody decided where it should live.
