How Does Our Devops As A Service For Shopware 6 Work?
Our DevOps service helps you run your Pimcore instance efficiently and securely by providing seamless CI/CD processes, a secure infrastructure and continuous monitoring. Together, we ensure that your Pimcore application is always up to date and runs without interruption.
This is how our service works:
- Customer's own CI pipeline and repository: you have your own repository and CI pipeline that automatically creates container images for your Shopware store. If required, we offer comprehensive support in setting up and optimizing this pipeline.
- Provision of a Shopware-optimized base image: To make your work easier, we provide a pre-optimized base image that is specially designed for Shopware installation. This image serves as the basis for your containers, which you process further in your pipeline.
- Container registry and deployment: The container image you create is pushed to a container registry provided by us. From there, it is rolled out to your development, staging or production environment. We provide the entire continuous delivery (CD) pipeline to efficiently integrate the image into the infrastructure.
- Infrastructure and services: We take over the complete infrastructure for the operation of your Shopware installation and the associated services, such as Redis, cronjobs, Symfony Messenger and Aurora DB.
- Regularly updated base images: We provide you with continuously updated base images to ensure that your Shopware instance is always up to date. Your CI pipeline should be set up to regularly create a new image based on these latest versions.
- Infrastructure and security monitoring: We take over the complete monitoring of your infrastructure to ensure that everything runs smoothly and security requirements are always met. Our team monitors all processes around the clock to identify and rectify any faults at an early stage.
- Regular infrastructure updates: We take full responsibility for updating the underlying infrastructure. This guarantees that your application always runs on a stable and secure foundation.
- Backup solutions: For maximum security, we create regular backups of your databases and file system. In the event of data loss, we can restore your data immediately.
- Secure container operation: We ensure that your container infrastructure is always stable and efficient. At the same time, we ensure that new container images are rolled out without interruption so that your customers do not notice any downtime.
- Scalable infrastructure: With our cloud architecture, you can flexibly scale your resources as required and thus react to changing business requirements at any time.
- Customer responsibility: As the customer, you are responsible for ensuring that the container image created is free of application-side errors that could disrupt operations. It is your responsibility to ensure that the application is configured without errors in order to guarantee smooth operation.
- Specifications for smooth operation: To ensure that your Shopware e-commerce system runs optimally, it is important to adhere to our development guidelines and configuration specifications. This is the only way to guarantee uninterrupted operation and easy scalability of your application.

Frequently Asked Questions About Shopware Hosting And Devops As A Service
No, we specialize in hosting applications based on the Symfony framework. Our goal is to provide you with a highly optimized, secure and high-performance environment that is specifically tailored to the needs of modern e-commerce platforms such as Shopware 6. We use our extensive experience in the Symfony ecosystem to ensure that all applications run seamlessly and efficiently. By focusing on this framework, we can guarantee you tailored support and first-class performance. Our specialized DevOps experts are on hand to continuously monitor and optimize your platform.
The main difference between our Kubernetes hosting and a managed server is flexibility and scalability. While a managed server provides a fixed amount of resources, our Kubernetes hosting allows you to dynamically adjust the resources according to the needs of your online store. Kubernetes automatically orchestrates container applications and scales them based on the current traffic and load of your store, whereas a managed server often requires manual intervention to provide additional resources. In addition, Kubernetes automatically provides self-healing mechanisms that ensure your applications are quickly restored in the event of failures, whereas this could require administrative intervention with a managed server. Another advantage of Kubernetes hosting is the ability to run your applications in a multi-cloud environment, which significantly increases resilience and availability. In contrast, a managed server is usually tied to a single location, which can lead to potential downtime.
Our offer includes 100 GB of storage space, which can be added in increments of 100 GB for €50 plus VAT if required.
The difference between Shopware 5 and 6 is significant, both technically and functionally. Shopware 6 has been completely redesigned to provide a modular, API-centric architecture that allows for greater flexibility and scalability. Compared to Shopware 5, which is based on a monolithic approach, Shopware 6 allows easier integration of external systems via a powerful API interface. Another important difference is the user interface; Shopware 6 offers a modern, intuitive admin panel that makes managing products, customers and orders much easier. In addition, Shopware 6 natively supports multi-channel sales, allowing you to centrally control different sales channels, which was only possible to a limited extent with the previous version. All in all, Shopware 6 offers a future-proof solution for fast-growing online stores that meets the requirements of modern e-commerce both technically and functionally.
Shopware 6 is free of charge in the Community Edition. This version offers a wide range of basic functions that are ideal for small to medium-sized e-commerce businesses. You benefit from regular updates and an active developer community that is constantly working to improve the platform. For companies that require advanced features and professional support, Shopware also offers various commercial editions. These paid versions include additional features such as advanced marketing tools, special security updates and prioritized support. These paid versions can be deployed in the Shopware Cloud and on-premise (i.e. with different hosting partners).
Shopware Cloud offers you a fully managed hosting environment that is specifically designed to make running your e-commerce platform as easy as possible. Shopware takes care of all infrastructure management and security updates and automatically scales your resources as required. On the other hand, the on-premise option allows you to retain control over your own server environment and customize it individually. This flexibility allows you to implement customized solutions that are tailored to your specific requirements and business processes. Both deployment options allow you to take full advantage of the advanced features and professional support of the commercial editions.
That depends on your requirements and how much work you want to do yourself. If you carry out many tasks such as the individual design, configuration and integration of external systems yourself, the costs can be lower. However, this requires considerable technical know-how.
