A selection of Magento and Adobe Commerce projects delivered for European companies. Client names are omitted for confidentiality: the technical details and results reported are real.
Multi-tenant hosting platform for an online pharmacy network
Challenge: running 25+ Magento e-commerce sites across production and staging while keeping cloud costs under control, with large catalogs and recurring bulk imports.
Solution: containerized multi-tenant architecture on European cloud — private network, bastion host, shared services split by role (Redis, RabbitMQ, OpenSearch, database), Varnish as per-domain full-page cache, read-only MariaDB replica for dumps and analytics, hourly automated offsite backups with 30-day retention, centralized monitoring with container auto-recovery.
Results: a production cluster at ~€520/month on 10 cloud servers in Germany (eu-central), supporting 25+ Magento environments and over 540,000 catalog products; pages served from Varnish cache with ~150-200 ms TTFB; MariaDB optimizer tuning that brought a scheduled product export from ~8 hours down to ~3 minutes; security hardening against an upload vulnerability with no official patch.
Parking e-commerce for an airport operator
Challenge: a heavily customized Magento 2.4.8 for selling airport parking — dynamic pricing, date validation, access PINs, integration with the gate management system, a banking payment gateway and a B2B flow — needing reliable deployments and a major-version upgrade.
Solution: zero-downtime deployment pipeline with self-hosted runners inside the VPN (isolated releases, atomic symlink swap, instant rollback), server hardening with SELinux in enforcing mode, Content-Security-Policy alignment between reverse proxy and Magento, planned 2.4.7 → 2.4.8 upgrade driven by a priority checklist.
Results: repeatable full releases and rollbacks across staging and production from a single pipeline; a controlled major-version upgrade with deprecated classes removed across 38 modules and a database migration between MariaDB majors, with no functional regressions.
Headless Order Management System on Kubernetes
Challenge: use Magento not as a storefront but as an Order Management engine within a microservices architecture, exposing its APIs to a headless frontend and a set of middleware services, all running reproducibly on Kubernetes.
Solution: headless Magento with Bearer-token authentication on the Web APIs and CORS for the Next.js frontend; deployment of the full stack (Magento + ~7 middleware services + web app) via a Helm chart per service, with per-environment values and explicit cluster secret management; a local development environment aligned with production.
Results: the e-commerce monolith isolated into a reusable OMS engine, decoupled from the sales channel; environments that are reproducible and consistent thanks to versioned Helm charts, with no manual cluster configuration.
Headless Magento for a jewellery brand
Challenge: build a fast, modern storefront for a jewellery brand, separating editorial content from e-commerce logic while keeping Magento as the catalog and order backend.
Solution: three-tier headless architecture — Magento for catalog and orders, Strapi as a headless CMS for editorial content, Next.js as the storefront, with a dedicated middleware composing data from the different sources; CI/CD differentiated per layer (frontend auto-deploy, backend with manually-triggered pipelines).
Results: content and storefront teams working in parallel without touching the Magento backend; a performant Next.js storefront replacing the traditional Magento theme, with frontend deploys in minutes.
