Shopify storefront
Product pages, checkout, and image CDN — e-commerce hosting where storage and egress show up fast.
A Shopify-like store is SSR product pages, a relational database for orders and inventory, and object storage for product photos at multiple resolutions. We model 5k daily shoppers with moderate catalog size — enough traffic that a managed PaaS vs edge stack tradeoff actually matters.
