Challenges Faced
By The Client
0%
Frequent Downtime
The existing system often experienced outages during high-traffic events, resulting in lost sales opportunities and customer dissatisfaction.
Inflexible Architecture
The monolithic architecture hindered the platform’s ability to scale effectively and to deploy new features in a timely manner.
Data Management Issues
Managing large volumes of customer and inventory data was cumbersome, leading to delays in order processing and fulfillment.
Limited Analytics Capabilities
The existing system lacked robust analytics tools, making it challenging for the client to gain insights into customer behavior and sales trends.
Our Approach
0%
Assessment & Strategy
We performed a comprehensive analysis of the client’s e-commerce platform and formulated a strategy for transitioning to a cloud-native architecture that supported scalability and performance.
Training and Ongoing Support
Post-launch, we conducted training sessions for the client’s team to facilitate effective management of the new cloud-native environment, alongside ongoing support for optimization.
Database Optimization
We implemented Amazon RDS for scalable database management, ensuring efficient data retrieval and processing for orders and customer interactions.
Microservices Architecture Design
We designed a microservices-based architecture using Kubernetes for container orchestration, allowing the client to independently scale components based on varying traffic demands.
Integration of Analytics Tools
We integrated advanced analytics solutions such as Google Analytics and Tableau to provide real-time insights into customer behavior, sales performance, and inventory levels.
