MarketNation unlocks scale with Upsun to challenge centralized ecommerce

MarketNation's transition to Upsun's fully managed Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) has revolutionized its ecommerce strategy by resolving infrastructure challenges and enabling a distributed marketplace model with +Shop. Previously hindered by instability and slow support on a custom Azure deployment, MarketNation sought a scalable, reliable hosting solution to support its Magento-based platform. Upsun's dedicated architecture, seamless onboarding, and integrated development tools have significantly improved performance, reducing page load times to under three seconds and eliminating major outages. The platform's environment-as-code and CLI tools offer developers full control, allowing for daily production deployments and on-demand development environments. This agility has empowered MarketNation to scale +Shop, allowing brands, creators, and nonprofits to host ecommerce shops on their websites and social platforms, without worrying about infrastructure constraints. The partnership with Upsun not only addressed technical issues but also unlocked business potential, enabling MarketNation to focus on expanding its vision of distributed commerce.
