Summarizing Key Capabilities of SAP Commerce Cloud Platform Services

Benefit from SAP’s experience in managing thousands of SAP Commerce Cloud instances.

SAP has been in the e-commerce business for a long time, and we know what our software needs to run effectively. Our Cloud Platform services that power our SAP Commerce Cloud application give our customers the benefit of all our experience and technical expertise to make sure their systems run efficiently and with a minimum of downtime. ​

The platform offers a variety of automated and semi-automated tools and processes that make life easier for teams managing and developing SAP Commerce Cloud environments.

To make development work on SAP Commerce Cloud as easy and fast as possible, developers can easily connect their GitHub repository, build, and deploy their SAP Commerce Cloud code leveraging the Platform. Behind-the-scenes guardrails help reduce risk when deploying this new code and an intuitive UI (called the Cloud Portal) makes leveraging the features of the Platform especially easy.

SAP regularly updates the Cloud Platform to include the latest features, so developers can always use the most up-to-date tools. Note that upgrades to SAP Commerce Cloud need to be managed by customers. ​

Other teams that manage SAP Commerce Cloud can also greatly benefit from the capabilities offered by the platform services. Thanks to the automated infrastructure and auto-scaling capabilities offered, they can save time and money and react more quickly to changing hardware requirements.

While they do not need to be hands-on for many tasks, they can still keep an eye on how their application or infrastructure is performing in minute detail, with performance monitoring offered by Dynatrace. ​

Of course, these services can be used in a self-service manner without long wait times for tickets. ​

With datacenters spread throughout the major regions of the world, these services can help you build an engaging e-commerce presence worldwide with total peace of mind. Each data center in these service regions has a geographically separated backup that allows restoration of both application and database information.

Accelerate, simplify, and de-risk.

Here, you can see the intuitive UI mentioned above. Its simplicity helps reduce the onboarding time when first starting out or hiring new staff. The powerful features of the SAP Commerce Cloud Platform services, leveraged by the Cloud Portal, help organizations simplify their code deployments while reducing their risk with technical guardrails.

Enhanced platform analytics.
