Cloud-Native Development for eCommerce -- UK Specifics
UK eCommerce Cloud Architecture 2026
Three patterns: (1) Shopify Plus headless (Storefront API + Next.js -- PCI-DSS SAQ-A, Shopify checkout), (2) Composable Commerce (MACH -- commercetools or BigCommerce + custom services), (3) Custom full-stack (Next.js + Stripe Elements -- SAQ-A). ClickMasters recommendation: Shopify Plus headless for GBP2M-GBP50M revenue (fastest, best PCI-DSS simplicity). Composable Commerce for GBP50M+ (maximum flexibility).
AWS UK eCommerce Infrastructure
(1) CloudFront (CDN -- product images via S3, LCP < 1.5s), (2) ECS Fargate (Next.js + Node.js API -- Black Friday auto-scaling), (3) Aurora PostgreSQL (order management -- Multi-AZ for Consumer Rights Act), (4) ElastiCache Redis (product catalogue cache), (5) SQS (order processing queue -- decouples storefront from OMS), (6) Lambda (background jobs). All infrastructure eu-west-2 (London) for UK GDPR data residency.
Shopify Plus Headless Architecture
(1) Shopify Storefront API (GraphQL -- products, cart, checkout), (2) Next.js App Router (ISR -- fast LCP), (3) Node.js BFF (aggregates Shopify + customer + loyalty + inventory), (4) Shopify webhooks (order created, payment, fulfilment), (5) Contentful or Sanity (CMS for editorial). PCI-DSS: Shopify handles all card data -- SAQ-A applies. Custom code never sees card numbers.
Core Web Vitals UK eCommerce
Google uses CWV as ranking signal: (1) LCP < 2.5s (ClickMasters target < 1.5s -- product hero image via CloudFront WebP), (2) CLS < 0.1 (explicit image dimensions), (3) INP < 200ms (App Router RSC -- minimal client JS). Google PageSpeed > 90 mobile for competitive advantage.
