AWS: the right architecture from over 200 services

We design and operate AWS architectures for commerce, CMS and DXP, tailored to your load profiles and your budget. You get operations, monitoring and cost control from one team that also understands the application behind it.

World's largest cloud needs right architect

AWS offers over 200 services. The challenge lies not in the offering but in choosing correctly. Which services suit your commerce platform? How does the architecture scale during traffic peaks? And how do costs stay under control as the business grows?

synaigy designs and operates AWS architectures for commerce, CMS and DXP. From EC2 and EKS to Lambda and S3 to CloudFront and RDS. Every service is tailored to your use case. With DevOps, 24/7 monitoring and cost optimisation, we ensure your platform runs performant, secure and cost-effective.

HIGHLIGHTS

What a well-built AWS environment means in everyday life

Not every AWS service fits every platform. These five points decide how stable your operations run and how high your cloud bill is at month's end.

Scaling without limits

Auto-scaling, elastic load balancing and global availability absorb load peaks automatically. During quiet periods the environment scales back down, so you don't pay for capacity held in reserve.

Managed AWS operations

Monitoring, incident management and performance optimisation run round the clock with us. You can focus on your business instead of watching infrastructure.

Costs under control

With reserved and spot instances, right-sizing and FinOps analyses, we keep your cloud bill in view. You pay for what you actually need, and always see what for.

Serverless and containers

Lambda handles event-driven workloads, EKS carries containerised microservices. This way, every requirement of your platform gets the operating model that suits it.

Multi-cloud flexibility

AWS can be operated alongside Azure and OVHcloud as part of a multi-cloud strategy. We choose the right provider for each workload and connect them across cloud boundaries.

PLATFORM FACTS

AWS at a glance

Source: AWS, information on global infrastructure.

200+

Services available for you to choose in AWS

The art lies in combining the right ones and leaving out the rest.

39

Regions with 123 availability zones

This allows failover and data storage to be planned by region.

750+

CloudFront locations worldwide

Content is delivered close to your customers, which noticeably reduces load times.

We handle this in your AWS project

AWS provides the building blocks. We decide with you which ones you need, build the environment reproducibly and keep it stable and affordable in operation.

Assessment and target architecture

We review your requirements and an existing setup against the Well-Architected Framework. The result is a target architecture with the services you actually need.

Migration to AWS

We migrate your platform from your own data centre or another cloud to AWS. The switch runs in stages with defined fallback scenarios, so operations don't come to a standstill.

Infrastructure as code and CI/CD

Describe your infrastructure as code with Terraform or CloudFormation, build CI/CD pipelines alongside. Environments reproducible this way, not rebuilt by hand.

Security and compliance

Set up permissions, network segregation, attack protection properly, from IAM through VPC to WAF. Security requirements and proof obligations covered from start.

FinOps and cost control

We regularly analyse what your budget is actually being spent on, and adjust instance types and reservations accordingly. This creates savings on an ongoing basis, not just once at project end.

24/7 operations and monitoring

We operate your environment around the clock with monitoring, alerting and incident management. Performance tuning and scaling adjustments for campaigns are a fixed part of it.

Your path to AWS cloud architecture

From requirements analysis through to ongoing managed operations. Four phases that ensure your AWS infrastructure is geared towards commerce performance and cost-effectiveness.

01

AWS assessment & architecture review

We analyse your platform requirements and review existing AWS setups against the Well-Architected Framework. This produces a target architecture with the right AWS services for your commerce workload.

02

Cloud architecture & service selection

We design the AWS architecture: compute (EC2, EKS, Lambda), storage (S3, EBS), databases (RDS, DynamoDB), networking (CloudFront, VPC) and security. Aligned to your commerce, CMS or DXP platform.

03

Migration & implementation

We migrate your platform to AWS. From on-premise, from other clouds, or for new projects. With infrastructure as code (Terraform, CloudFormation), CI/CD pipelines and defined rollback scenarios.

04

Managed operations & cost optimisation

24/7 monitoring, proactive incident management, performance tuning and FinOps. Regular cost reviews, reserved instance planning and scaling adjustments for traffic peaks.

KNOWLEDGE TO TAKE AWAY

Praxiswissen zu Cloud-Architektur und Betrieb

One article from our own operational practice and one directly from AWS. Both show which decisions determine availability and control in the cloud.

Whoever just runs servers sees CPU and memory. Whoever runs commerce sees shopping carts, campaigns and revenue. That's exactly the perspective we build AWS environments with, which is why we don't talk about costs only once the bill surprises you.

Frequently asked questions about AWS

AWS offers the broadest service portfolio, global availability and proven scaling capability. For commerce platforms, that means: auto-scaling during traffic peaks, fast load times through CloudFront and high availability for business-critical applications.

For Shopware, VTEX, Intershop, Emporix, Storyblok and other commerce, CMS and DXP platforms. The AWS architecture is tailored to the specific requirements of each platform.

With FinOps analyses, reserved instances, spot instances, right-sizing and regular cost reviews. We continuously optimise the cost structure without compromising performance.

synaigy combines AWS operations with commerce expertise, data analytics and UX design. Other AWS partners understand infrastructure, synaigy also understands the business behind it: conversion, revenue and customer experience.

Yes. synaigy operates platforms on AWS, Azure and OVHcloud. Workloads are distributed to the optimal provider. The multi-cloud strategy is aligned with compliance, cost and performance requirements.

EC2 and EKS for compute, S3 for storage, RDS and DynamoDB for databases, CloudFront as CDN, Lambda for serverless workloads, VPC for network isolation and CloudWatch for monitoring. The choice depends on the use case.

In four phases: assessment and architecture review, target architecture and service selection, migration with infrastructure as code and rollback scenarios, then managed operations with 24/7 monitoring and cost optimisation.
