How does a Shopware B2B shop perform with large catalogs?

Large B2B catalogs with hundreds of thousands of products and variants are not an edge case but the norm. With the right architecture, Shopware Community Edition scales reliably for them. Among other things, we rely on a dedicated search engine for fast full-text search and faceting, in-memory caching for sessions and objects, plus optimized database queries and a multi-tier caching concept.

For particularly high data volumes, read replicas and well-considered indexing strategies are added so that ERP imports do not slow down live operation. As a benchmark, we aim for page load times under two seconds, even on catalog-intensive listing pages.

Which levers work in detail is described on our Performance page. An analysis of your existing shop is possible via the contact form.
