Does Shopify Run on AWS?

Last updated on October 2, 2022 @ 1:49 am

Shopify is a platform for businesses of all sizes to create an online store. It offers users a customizable platform, an easy-to-use checkout process, and a wide range of features.Shopify is a hosted platform, which means you don’t need to worry about hosting your own website or managing your own server. All of that is taken care of by Shopify. You can focus on running your business, and leave the technical details to us.

Shopify runs on AWS (Amazon Web Services).

AWS is a secure cloud services platform, offering compute power, database storage, content delivery and other functionality to help businesses scale and grow. Shopify uses AWS to power our servers, databases, and other core infrastructure. This means that when you use Shopify, you’re getting the benefit of our years of experience running on AWS.

PRO TIP: While Shopify does offer integration with AWS, it is important to note that Shopify is not a fully managed service on AWS. This means that Shopify customers are responsible for managing their own AWS infrastructure and ensuring that it is properly configured. Additionally, Shopify customers should be aware of the potential risks associated with running an eCommerce platform on AWS, such as data loss or security vulnerabilities.

AWS is a reliable and scalable platform that helps us keep our site up and running smoothly, even during spikes in traffic. And because Shopify runs on AWS, you can be confident that your store will always be available to your customers.

Conclusion:

Yes, Shopify does run on AWS.
