Also during the programming of shop content or the individual Comersus shopping cart settings data is generated. We will certainly keep part of the work redundant in our development interfaces or on our own servers. But we also want to store and manage data from the operation, such as evaluations or reports or activity logs. One method for this is storage in the cloud. We have taken a closer look at this topic.

Secure storage of Comersus Cart Logs

We can store all running data such as log files in a virtual storage in the cloud for daily or hourly backup. Here you have the possibility to build up your own infrastructure, but this can quickly cost a lot of money.

A possible alternative are smaller providers of storage services in the network. With their portfolio of file hosting, they offer different products. Most of the time, there are even free versions that are already a good start. Faster and with higher volume you are on the road with the Premium Packages. Here you get major upgrades to the features for a few dollars a month.

Backup files in the cloud

Backups, for example, can also be easily managed automatically. For this purpose, Comersus can automatically store the data at regular intervals, for example by means of a corresponding chronjob, in a specific memory. This can partly be the file hosting via API interface. Alternatively, it goes of course also about an own partition and from there by upload.

The big advantage of backing up data in the cloud is that it is always protected against loss. No one wants to experience the situation where important files are lost and cannot be found again. It is an ideal way to do this. However, you should also ensure a high level of data protection and secure access data.

Conclusion on secure handling of Comersus data

We have tested the whole thing ourselves and are very satisfied. You have to see it as an alternative to a cost-intensive solution where you build up your own server infrastructure. If you choose a good product here, you can outsource part of the system landscape around programming with Comersus and make everyday life a little easier.

Furthermore, we see that many other systems already support the topic sufficiently via interface. So the trend is clearly going in the direction of the cloud and so we are also backing a future-proof technology. You can’t really go wrong for the low costs and try it out for yourself.
