Why PaaS with Shopware?
If you're working with Shopware 6 and want better deployment, scaling, and performance, Platform.sh offers a robust Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) solution. It minimizes the need for manual server setup and lets developers focus on code — not infrastructure.
What is Platform.sh?
Platform.sh is a modern cloud hosting solution that handles:
- Git-based workflows
- Environment cloning
- Performance scaling
- Zero-downtime deployments
We use it to deploy complex Shopware projects without worrying about DevOps bottlenecks.
Key Benefits
- Environment cloning
- Integrated services (MySQL, Redis, Elasticsearch, etc.)
- Scalable infrastructure
- Improved deployment workflows
- Security and compliance baked in
How It Works with Shopware
By combining Platform.sh and Shopware, our team benefits from:
- Fast project setup via templates
- Easy service configuration through
.platform.app.yaml - Integrated CLI for project control
- Multi-branch environments for testing and preview
Real-World Tips
- Don’t forget to optimize the
routes.yamlfor SEO-friendly URLs - Monitor services with Platform.sh’s built-in logs
- We recommend using Redis for session storage and Elasticsearch for product searches
Final Thoughts
Whether you’re running an eCommerce agency or managing your own Shopware store, using Platform.sh as your PaaS can save time, reduce errors, and scale smoothly.
