Shopware shop moved off a single server onto Kubernetes, with CI/CD and QA environments
We moved Kale & Me's Shopware shop from one virtual machine to Kubernetes on DigitalOcean, split out database and file storage, and added CI/CD pipelines and QA environments.
The Challenge
Kale & Me's entire Shopware shop, database included, ran on a single virtual machine. That made maintenance difficult and capped the shop's performance. Every change touched the one server the business depended on.
The Approach
We migrated the shop from the single-server setup to a Kubernetes environment on DigitalOcean. We split the database and file storage out of the application so each can scale on its own. We introduced CI/CD pipelines and a clear branching strategy. We also set up dedicated QA and testing environments, so changes get tested before they reach the live shop.
The Results
The shop now runs on cloud infrastructure that can handle more traffic and keep performance up as the business grows. Separating database and file storage improved both reliability and speed. Kale & Me can now ship shop changes through tested pipelines instead of working directly on a single server.
