Cloud-Native Development for eCommerce — UK Specifics
eCommerce Cloud Architecture for UK Peak Traffic
UK eCommerce peak traffic events: Black Friday (traffic spike 5–10x normal), Christmas (sustained high), payday weekend (predictable monthly peaks). Cloud-native auto-scaling: AWS ECS Fargate or Kubernetes HPA (Horizontal Pod Autoscaler) scales services independently. CloudFront CDN for static assets and product images — offloads origin by 80–90%. ElastiCache for Redis session storage — session state externalised from application layer.
Headless Commerce Architecture on AWS
Headless commerce: Next.js frontend deployed on Vercel or CloudFront + Lambda, commerce engine (Shopify Storefront API, Commerce.js, or custom), order management microservice (OMS), and inventory service. UK GDPR: customer personal data only in OMS and CRM microservices — never in CDN cache. PECR: cookie consent enforced before any analytics tracking pixel fires.
UK Consumer Rights Act in Cloud Architecture
14-day cancellation window tracked from order creation timestamp in cloud-native OMS. Right to repair (Consumer Rights Act 2015): for digital products, track version at time of purchase. Delivery SLA monitoring: cloud-native delivery tracking via carrier webhook → SNS → Lambda → customer notification. Chargeback dispute evidence: immutable order history and delivery confirmation stored in S3 with Glacier lifecycle.
eCommerce Disaster Recovery and BCDR
UK enterprise eCommerce: Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Recovery Point Objective (RPO) requirements. Active-passive DR: primary in AWS eu-west-2, DR in AWS eu-west-1 (Ireland — EEA, UK GDPR compliant). RDS automated backups with cross-region replication. CloudFront failover: if origin unavailable, serve cached static pages. RPO target: 1 hour. RTO target: 4 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about ecommerce software development.
What AWS architecture does UK eCommerce need?
Standard UK eCommerce AWS architecture: CloudFront (CDN for static assets), S3 (product images — presigned URLs for private assets), ECS Fargate (application containers — auto-scaling), RDS Aurora PostgreSQL (transactional data — Multi-AZ), ElastiCache for Redis (sessions, caching), SQS (order processing queue — decoupled from checkout), Lambda (background jobs: inventory updates, email triggers), and API Gateway (customer-facing REST API). All in eu-west-2 for UK GDPR data residency.
How do we handle EU GDPR data residency for a UK eCommerce platform selling into Europe?
Post-Brexit UK GDPR applies to UK operations. EU customers shopping on a UK platform: UK GDPR applies (not EU GDPR) because the controller is UK-based. If you have EU entity operations: EU GDPR applies to those. AWS eu-west-2 (London) satisfies UK GDPR. For EU operations from a UK platform: if processing EU citizens' data in the context of offering goods/services to EU citizens, EU GDPR Article 3(2) may apply — seek specialist legal advice.
