# Norce Commerce Infrastructure

Norce Commerce offers a robust and scalable infrastructure for modern commerce, leveraging fully virtualized Azure-native technologies like Azure Kubernetes
Services, Azure SQL, and Azure Cosmos for flexibility and scalability. Hosting primarily in Sweden Central, with the option of single-tenant environments
worldwide, ensures data integrity and compliance.

Using a hub-and-spoke model, Norce Commerce maintains data integrity across diverse customer environments. Security is foundational, with proactive threat
modeling and collaboration with Azure Teams at Microsoft.

The single-tenant enterprise offering provides enhanced security, customization, and flexibility, including dedicated load balancers and federated login
capabilities launching in 2024.
Access to SIEM logs empowers clients to identify and address security threats swiftly. This tailored approach ensures seamless integration of bespoke components
and alignment with specific operational and security needs.

## Authentication and access

The new production environment uses the same authentication as the old, **OAuth2**, same users can be set up for access the same way as before.

All endpoints will follow a new structure and each client will get its own **hostname**. This makes it easier to handle load balancing and client load
distribution.
