Yesterday’s AWS outage caused widespread downtime across the web, taking many popular sites and ecommerce tools offline. The disruption was a powerful reminder of how dependent much of the online world has become on shared cloud infrastructure and how vulnerable that dependence can make your business.
The Hidden Costs of Downtime
Even a brief service interruption can have lasting effects on your bottom line. Every minute your store is down means lost revenue, abandoned carts, frustrated customers, and potential damage to your brand reputation. Ecommerce uptime is more than just a technical metric. It’s a key driver of customer trust and sustainable business growth.
In today’s 24/7 digital marketplace, every second counts, and your shoppers expect seamless, always-on access to your brand.
Miva’s Standalone Infrastructure Keeps Your Store Running
While countless online businesses went dark during the AWS outage, Miva stores continued to operate normally. Our platform runs on independent, standalone infrastructure designed specifically to avoid single points of failure.
That means Miva merchants don’t have to rely on the same centralized hosting environments that failed so many others. When outages ripple across the web, your Miva store stays online, providing the reliability and performance your customers expect.
