E-Commerce Platform Modernization

Transforming retail experiences with modern technology

Fashion Retail Co.•Retail & E-Commerce•2024

Project Overview

Our client, a leading fashion retailer, was struggling with their outdated e-commerce platform that couldn't handle peak traffic during sales events. The platform suffered from slow page loads, frequent crashes, and poor mobile experience, resulting in lost revenue and frustrated customers.

Project Objectives

Improve website performance by at least 50%
Build a scalable architecture to handle 10x traffic spikes
Enhance mobile shopping experience
Integrate modern payment gateways and shipping providers
Implement real-time inventory management

The Challenge

Legacy Monolithic Architecture

The existing platform was built on a monolithic architecture that made it difficult to scale individual components and deploy updates without system-wide downtime.

Poor Performance

Page load times averaged 8-12 seconds on mobile devices, leading to high bounce rates and abandoned carts.

Limited Mobile Experience

The mobile experience was simply a responsive version of the desktop site, lacking mobile-specific optimizations and native-like interactions.

Integration Complexity

The platform had tight coupling with legacy systems, making it difficult to integrate modern third-party services for payments, shipping, and analytics.

Our Solution

Microservices Architecture

Redesigned the platform using microservices architecture with separate services for product catalog, user management, cart, checkout, and order processing. This allowed independent scaling and deployment of each service.

Progressive Web App (PWA)

Built a modern React-based PWA that delivers app-like experiences on mobile browsers, with offline capabilities and push notifications.

Cloud Infrastructure

Migrated to AWS cloud infrastructure with auto-scaling capabilities, CDN integration, and edge caching to handle traffic spikes efficiently.

Modern Payment Integration

Integrated Stripe and PayPal with tokenization for secure, PCI-compliant payment processing, including support for digital wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay.
