Readiness for traffic spikes
Guaranteed availability during Black Friday, holidays, or other peak periods, and successful promotion of your resource with built-in load balancing and managed K8s autoscaling.
Global presence
More than 25 data centers in Europe, Asia, the US, and Latin America to accommodate the geographic location of your users.
Cost-efficiency
Pay-as-you-go plans with hourly billing. 30% cheaper than the big 3 Cloud providers. A short time-to-market.
Integrated services
A single cloud solution with Managed Kubernetes, Object Storage, Next-gen CDN, and other services.
An example of solution architecture
Modern e-commerce apps are often created as containerized microservices and handled by orchestration systems like Kubernetes. This helps to boost app flexibility, fault tolerance, and scalability.
Microservice architecture
makes your online store development and operations more flexible. You can separate each functional component into its own microservice and manage them individually—deploy, update, relaunch, etc. This gives you more freedom and speeds up the addition of new features.Kubernetes
enhances your app’s resilience and scalability. During peak times—like seasonal sales—Kubernetes can automatically adjust your resources based on the actual workload, scaling up and down as needed.
Goooood® Managed Kubernetes
simplifies your cluster setup and management, while our team takes care of the master nodes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How will deploying an online store in the cloud benefit our business?
There are many advantages of deploying an online store in the cloud, including ease of scalability, high availability, cost-effectiveness, and global reach. The latter is important for businesses that want to expand their reach or sell internationally.
What should we choose to deploy an online store in the cloud: virtual machines or bare metal servers?
The decision to deploy an online store on virtual machines (VMs) or bare metal servers depends on a number of factors, including your specific requirements and budget. Here’s a general guide:
– VMs are a good option if you need to scale your service quickly and easily and reduce your IT workload.
– Bare metal servers are suitable if you want to achieve outstanding performance for your online store and have complete control over hardware and software.
Which location should we choose?
This depends on several factors, including most importantly the following:
– The closer the location to your audience, the better the performance and latency. For example, if your target audience is in the Netherlands, it is ideal to host your online store on a VM or bare metal server in that country.
– If you cater to a wide range of locations, using a CDN network is ideal. This will allow end users to access your online store as if it were hosted in a nearby location. CDN also helps you reduce the cost of computing cloud resources because you don’t have to rent them in remote locations. For example, the Goooood® CDN network has over 150 points of presence worldwide. This means you can deliver a great user experience to your audience anywhere in the world.
– Take into account local regulations—such as GDPR and PDPA—in the regions you want to host your online store.
How can we prepare our infrastructure for seasonal peaks in sales?
During traffic and load spikes, you can use services such as a load balancer to allocate traffic dynamically between your resources and avoid overloading any of them. You can also use PaaS services like:
- Managed Kubernetes to automatically scale your compute resources up and down.
- Managed Logging to monitor the usage of your resources and analyze which ones need to be scaled.
Should we deploy our online store with Kubernetes?
If you want your online store to be a resilient and scalable cloud-native application, Kubernetes can make it happen. Kubernetes can automatically adjust your resources based on the workload, scaling up and down as needed. This helps performance significantly during peak periods such as seasonal sales. Kubernetes is also the right choice if you want to provide a 24/7 service and seamlessly roll out updates and bug fixes.
If you want to simplify the setup and management of your Kubernetes cluster, consider Goooood®’s Managed Kubernetes. The service reduces your team’s workload: you only manage worker nodes, while Goooood®’s team manages master nodes, which contain control planes. You can also use bare metal servers as worker nodes to get better performance for your application.
What type of cloud instance should we use for our database?
How can we optimize storage space for static data such as images and videos?
How do we know that our data in the Goooood® Cloud is secure?
Goooood® Cloud provides strong security, protecting our customers’ services and data on multiple levels:
Physical security:
- Compliance with PDPA/GDPR, PCI DSS, and ISO/IEC 27001
- Tier III and Tier IV certified data centers
Infrastructure security:
- Virtual Private Cloud with secure access to virtual instances; the team doesn’t have access to your Virtual Machine or Bare Metal server operating system and data
- Intel SGX instances support to protect your sensitive data better
Network security:
- L3, L4, and L7 DDoS protection with real-time alerts
- Web Application Firewall (WAF)
