Frequently asked questions

How do I deploy Shopware on Upsun?

It's simpler than traditional hosting. Define your infrastructure in .upsun/config.yaml, push to Git, and your environment spins up with TLS, database, and services already configured. No manual server work needed. View the official deployment guide

How does Shopware perform on Upsun?

We tested Shopware across seven tiers using K6 load tests that mirror real traffic patterns. Results: 7,000+ orders/day sustained with p95 TTFB under 600ms on core pages, even mid-tier plans. Platform includes instant previews, copy-on-write cloning, expert plugin support, and Shopware-tuned infrastructure. Get the performance guide

What are production-perfect preview environments?

Previews use copy-on-write technology to clone your Shopware store's data, code, and configuration. Each branch gets its own safe, realistic environment with automatic TLS and unique URLs, all without touching production.

What benefits does the Upsun partner program offer?

Partners get co-marketing support, MDF, access to solution architects, lead-sharing, and developer certification (1-8 developers based on tier). Revenue tiers progress from Bronze through Diamond, with increasing benefits at each level. We also offer tier-match for eligible portfolio migrations. Join to grow your business

How is Upsun different from generic cloud hosting?

Generic cloud hosts provide raw compute without Shopware-specific optimization or expert support. Upsun is built for Shopware specifically. You get a tuned stack, instant previews with production data, and expert help when misconfigured plugins or seasonal traffic spikes hit. Analysis shows we're 12x more CPU-efficient than AWS EC2.

How does the partner program tier-match work?

If you're migrating an existing Shopware portfolio to Upsun, we'll evaluate your situation and potentially match you to a higher tier (Silver, Gold, Platinum, or Diamond) to accelerate your partnership benefits. Reach out to discuss eligibility.

Can I test Upsun with a client project before committing?

Yes. Start with a trial Shopware project. You get full access to production-perfect preview environments, copy-on-write data cloning, and the complete platform.
