@orange it’s not possible on firebase because fire store don’t have MySQL database.

yes it doesn't use mysql but it seems like, it is possible. There is a plugin that makes this fetching / synchonisation with Wordpress website and Firebase.

But if you want fastest server you can use Amazon AWS

I know Amazon is fast, actually I am asking alternative methods like serverless systems.

By the way, which AWS plan is best and fastest you think? Serverless (Lambda), EC2 or S3? There are lot's of options, it is hard to decide

@orange I'm using S3 for my sample libraries. Seems to work well on this end.

What about using a CDN instead? I use BunnyCDN with my WooCommerce site.

For website hosting are you using that too?

I think CDN is helpful but it can conflict with Woocommerce data while caching.
Are you able to disable Woocommerce data while caching? Otherwise cart page will be static html and it won't work properly right?

If Hise can work with Firebase, the server requests would be in huge speed...

[d.healey]

@orange I use W3 total cache and the BunnyCDN plugin. I exclude some of the dynamic pages from the cache and from the CDN.

[Dan Korneff]

@orange just for file server. I'm actually upgrading to Fiber at the studio so I can host everything in house.

[d.healey]

@dustbro You're going to host your ecommerce website on your own server?

[Dan Korneff]

@d-healey yup

[Dan Korneff]

against my better judgement... and warnings from professionals I respect :face_with_tongue:

[d.healey]

@dustbro Do you need any kind of insurance against data breaches since you'll be storing customer data?

[Dan Korneff]

@d-healey yup. You'll need Cyber Liability coverage. It's surprisingly affordable. Since woocommerce uses paywalls to collect and process payments, it becomes their responsibility (paypal, stripe, etc) to protect that data. You're only liable for data your store on your server (names, addresses, etc).

FYI, everyone should be carrying Technology Errors and Omissions insurance as well. If your software causes an unforseen expense to a customer, they could hold you liable.

Well that depends upon a couple of things:

1. which country you are in and the local laws
2. What your software license says...

I don't have a lot of faith in this. I can imagine a litigious customer making a lot of expensive noise about how the license doesn't cover their particular situation.

Well if it didnt work we would be seeing a LOT of class action suits against Apple and Microsoft, and we dont.

[Dan Korneff]

@Lindon we actually do see a lot of class action suits against these companies. Apple was ordered to pay $500M last year for "planned obsolescence" with their iPhone

[Lindon]

@dustbro not really this tho was it?
