Infrastructure
Charlie operates on Cloudflare Workers—the same infrastructure backbone that Shopify relies on.This represents a shared dependency rather than an additive risk factor.
Performance
Charlie’s routing logic is written in Rust and compiled to WebAssembly, executing in under 1ms with zero impact on checkout speed.Peak traffic handling
During peak traffic events:- Checkout functions scale automatically through Shopify
- Application infrastructure scales automatically through Cloudflare
- Rate limiting protects Shopify APIs from overload
Availability scenarios
