Is it possible to make a good store with 30K+ products on WP+Woocommerce?

Question

CMS

Is it possible to make a fast, convenient IM with a large database of 30,000 products (for example) on a bunch of wordpress + woocommerce in 2017 ??? This question is more from the field of hypotheses, is such a game worth the candle, the goods are the simplest, shipping everything through imports, minimal descriptions. I know about Bitrix, OpenCart, Magento, but I just want to understand whether it is possible to do it on WordPress? Please do not flood on the topic "this is a blogging movement", "Bitrix" and so on. Again, the question is hypothetical.
What do you need to pay attention to? Which hosting to choose? What are the pitfalls? What buns?
Does anyone know the large shops on WordPress, starting from at least 5000 products, which are successfully working?
In Google, the answers are all old 2010-2015. Thanks to everyone who will take part in the discussion.

Answer 1

It is possible if you have good specialists in your team. If not, then almost any platform is doomed to failure.
If there are no specialists or budgets are small, then it is better to take something like InSales memark.ru/product/insales/gurl
If there are good specialists (and there are few of them in the Russian Federation) or budgets allow them to be hired, then there are no problems.
Depending on tasks and traffic, tasks from the highload world will appear. Integration with Memcache/Redis, search data with Algolia/Elastic.
Woo has a bottleneck - storing data in meta fields. But if you have a simple description, then this should not give a problem. Well, it is decided if there are good specialists. In future versions, they plan to rewrite storage to regular tables. This will give a little more gain on the bare engine, but not much. Any highload sooner or later runs into bottlenecks and you need to be able to expand them through appropriate technologies. If there are specialists who know all this, then everything is solved. There will be bottlenecks one way or another on any platform.
The fact that Woo / WP is somehow poorly suited for ecommerce is nothing more than a stereotype that comes from dancers who try to cover up their stupidity by criticizing the tool.

Answer 2

Bad idea.

Answer 3

At least a billion. MySQL and MariaDB support tables much larger than a terabyte.
As WordPress WooCommerce rightly pointed out, bottlenecks are everywhere.
Yes, you will need to work with the configuration, caching, search relevancy settings, calculate a good configuration for the web server and choose it accordingly.
And dancers who get in the way of eggs usually put WOOC on the minimum rate on timeweb.ru and groan - "what shit is this WP + WOOC", instead of turning on their heads and reading the logs, and then reconfiguring the server according to reality.
An example of a large store on WOOC - www.trofe.se for example, everything flies.
WooCommerce powers 28% of the world's online stores.
