Digital Resilience for E-commerce & DTC brands

System status: resilient

Keep checkout and your store online when systems go down.

Your storefront, checkout, and login often depend on one CDN, one cloud region, and one payment processor. We build secondary paths for the flows that make you money, so you degrade gracefully instead of going dark.

A cloud outage at the store, step by step. Watch the loss counter run until the on-site box takes over.

  1. 1Normal day

    Orders and bookings run through the cloud.

  2. 2Cloud goes down

    A CDN or cloud region fails. Customers hit errors.

  3. 3The counter climbs

    Every minute offline is money you don't take.

  4. 4The box takes over

    Health checks reroute to the box on site. Service continues.

Knock out a piece of the cloud and watch traffic reroute to the glowing box on site.

Example scenarios

What goes wrong

Example scenarios, not client stories. These are the kinds of outages this work is meant to soften.

  • Example scenario

    A cloud region outage takes checkout offline

    Store, API, and database all live in one region. Customers can browse a cached page but can't pay.

  • Example scenario

    Your payment processor freezes payouts

    Orders keep landing, but settlements stop. A second rail with auto-conversion to fiat keeps money moving.

  • Example scenario

    The warehouse loses order intake

    Fulfillment tools run in the cloud. When it's unreachable, a local failover box keeps order intake and fulfillment tools running at the warehouse.

Process

How an engagement works

  1. 1

    Free discovery call (20–30 min)

    We learn how your business runs, map the dependencies that matter most, and tell you plainly what we would build first and whether it's worth doing.

  2. 2

    Fixed-scope pilot (2–4 weeks)

    A focused first project — often a Resilience Audit or the highest-impact failover path — at a reduced founding-client rate in exchange for a case study.

  3. 3

    Launch + tabletop test

    We put the changes live, walk your team through the runbooks, and run a simple tabletop so everyone knows what to do if something breaks.

  4. 4

    Ongoing support (optional)

    Quarterly reviews, plan updates, and priority improvements so the resilience work stays current as your stack changes.

5 November founding-client spots are open at 50% off listed rates. Every pilot is fixed-scope so you know what you're getting before we start.
