Summary

Conclusion

Limitation

  1. Customization: With Cafe24 and IMweb, you are limited by the features, templates, and tools provided by the platforms. While they offer a certain level of customization, you may not be able to implement unique features or custom functionality that goes beyond their built-in capabilities. In contrast, with a custom-programmed server, you have complete control over the implementation, allowing you to create tailor-made solutions to fit your specific requirements.
  2. Scalability: Managed platforms like Cafe24 and IMweb are built to handle a certain level of traffic and resource usage. While they may offer different plans to accommodate varying levels of usage, you may encounter limitations in terms of scalability, performance, and resource allocation. With a custom-programmed server, you can optimize your infrastructure and software to handle your specific needs, allowing for greater flexibility in scaling your application.
  3. Vendor lock-in: When you build your website or online store using a managed platform, you may become dependent on the features, services, and infrastructure provided by that platform. This can make it difficult to migrate your site to another platform or service provider in the future. With a custom-programmed server, you have more control over your data and the underlying technologies, making it easier to migrate or switch hosting providers if needed.
  4. Flexibility in technology stack: Managed platforms like Cafe24 and IMweb typically have a predefined technology stack that you must work within. This can limit your ability to choose the programming languages, databases, or frameworks that best suit your needs. With a custom-programmed server, you can select the technologies that are most appropriate for your project, giving you more control over your development environment.
  5. Cost: While managed platforms often come with a subscription cost, they can save you time and resources in terms of setup, maintenance, and management. However, as your needs grow and become more complex, the cost of using a managed platform may become higher than the cost of maintaining a custom-programmed server.
