Infrastructure & Performance

Up on Valentine's Day, up on Mother's Day.

Next.js server-side rendering, microservice architecture, redundant publishing on multiple servers, automatic failover, CDN and bot/DDoS protection. Infrastructure built for businesses whose peaks cannot be predicted.

Architecture

API-based microservices, rendered with Next.js.

One failing component does not take the system down.

Your site runs on an API-based microservice architecture (identity, basket, order, product, notification) and is published fast and search-engine friendly with Next.js server-side rendering. Images are optimised automatically; the CDN and smart cache absorb traffic before it reaches the servers. The scalable server infrastructure grows for seasonal peaks.

  • Next.js SSR: fast, SEO-friendly pages
  • Microservice architecture (Auth, Basket, Order…)
  • CDN + smart cache
  • Automatic image optimisation
  • Scalable server infrastructure
  • Designed for high traffic
Continuity

If the primary server stops answering, publishing carries on by itself.

Redundant publishing, automatic failover, nightly backups.

Your site is kept on several servers at once; if the primary stops responding, publishing switches automatically to the standby. Data is backed up every night to a separate location and restores are tested regularly. Releases are rolled out blue-green without downtime; customers notice nothing.

  • Redundant publishing in multiple locations
  • Automatic failover
  • Nightly backups to a separate location
  • Server mirroring and data safety
  • Zero-downtime (blue-green) releases
  • 24/7 monitoring and health checks
Security

Under attack, legitimate customers are not affected.

Bot and DDoS protection, card-testing protection, clone-site protection.

A layer of method restrictions, IP-based rate limiting and bot filtering runs in front of your site; attack traffic is separated from customer traffic and blocked. The payment infrastructure detects and throttles bursts of failed card attempts. Fake sites that copy your pages to another domain become useless: the visitor is redirected to your real site. Card payments go through 3D Secure, and charging the same order twice is prevented at the infrastructure level.

  • Bot and DDoS protection (method limits, rate limiting, filtering)
  • Card-testing attack protection
  • Clone-site protection: on by default
  • 3D Secure and double-charge protection
  • Role-based panel permissions
  • Contract and privacy texts managed in the panel
Speed and SEO

Fast pages, cheaper ads, better rankings.

Infrastructure is part of your marketing budget.

Server-side rendering and the CDN improve page speed the way Google measures it. Automatic meta, schema.org and sitemap generation, a multilingual Merchant feed and llms.txt for AI visibility are all part of the infrastructure. Measurement keeps working despite ad blockers thanks to server-side conversion tracking.

  • Fast, server-side rendered pages
  • Automatic meta, schema.org, sitemap
  • Multilingual Google Merchant product feed
  • Server-side conversions (Meta CAPI, GA4 MP)
  • llms.txt: AI visibility
  • DNS management in the panel
FAQ

Questions about the infrastructure.

Data, peak traffic, incident communication and domains.

Your site is published on an Ikost-managed infrastructure made of several servers; data is backed up nightly to a separate location. You own your data.

The infrastructure scales for special-day peaks: the CDN and cache take the static load off the servers, redundant publishing shares capacity and server-side rendering keeps pages fast.

Planned maintenance is announced in advance and scheduled for low-traffic hours; unexpected incidents and their resolution are shared through the support channels. See the System Status page for current information.

The SSL certificate is included. You manage your domain's DNS records from the panel; you do not need a separate provider panel for e-mail, verification or subdomain records.

Ikost is delivered as SaaS; infrastructure, updates and security operations stay with Ikost. That is how new features reach every customer at the same time without a maintenance burden on you.
