Why CloudCart have chosen Google Cloud?

In our effort to provide the best for our merchants, we’ve chosen to build CloudCart on the most secure, stable, and fastest digital infrastructure in the world - that of the Google Cloud Platform. We'll explore the benefits of the cloud infrastructure provided to us by Google later in this article, but first, let's learn a little more about GCP.

Google Cloud or Google Cloud Platform (GCP), previously known as App Engine (the old name of GCP), is a suite of digital cloud services launched by Google in 2008. Interestingly, GCP provides both infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), and software as a service (SaaS).

All of these variations are available to organizations around the world. GCP's services are tailored to create a variety of applications, and subsequently, publishing them is easy thanks to Google's hyper-scale data centers.

In 2022, Google Cloud generated $26 billion in revenue, representing approximately nine percent of Google's total revenue. Furthermore, there is evidence that as recently as 2017, the team responsible for Google Cloud was the largest under the company's umbrella.

All these, to say the least, impressive statistics indicate that Google’s cloud platform is a solid project that is yet to conquer new heights. But why did we choose Google over any of the other options? The answer is simple - we want our merchants to be backed by a solid platform, providing them with security and protection for their data, while also having unlimited scalability potential!

What are the benefits of Google Cloud for CloudCart users

Our merchants can rest assured that their stores are backed by a prestigious infrastructure that is globally established. GCP reliability becomes even more evident by the fact that the tech titan Google uses the same infrastructure.

Another advantage of an infrastructure optimized to perfection is that it creates the prerequisites for increased security and reliability as well. Google Cloud's infrastructure and mechanisms have the highest level of data encryption, additional protections, and behavioral analytics. Paypal, for example, uses exactly Google Cloud! But in addition to security, GCP offers increased reliability. For those who think these two areas are identical - they're actually not. It is not necessary for a platform to be both reliable (in terms of functioning) while also being secure (in terms of cyber attacks). Luckily, with Google Cloud Platforms, both areas are up to par! Your stores will always be well protected from attacks, and will be constantly "online", even during busy periods!

Last but not least, one of the most attractive features of GCP is the scalability it possesses. It is important to us that entrepreneurs who choose CloudCart can reach the horizons they set out to conquer. Naturally, this quest for growth should not be limited by the technology serving as the foundation of your stores. On the contrary, technology should be one more prerequisite for achieving higher results.

Concrete and measurable benefits of Google Cloud for eCommerce

Getting into specifics, we should mention that Google Cloud is a fully decentralized network of dedicated servers. Their capacity is perfectly optimized for e-commerce. As their infrastructure is also backed up with over 20 different products specifically designed for eCommerce merchants like you.

Google Cloud infrastructure is specifically designed, so it can support and adapt to the commercial needs of wholesale and retail eCommerce. Seamlessly, this infrastructure is capable of handling an intense two-way flow of data - to and from any virtual location, such as your CloudCart store.
