Enterprise Content Migration and Decoupled Website Architecture Development

The client operates a decade-old, highly customized web platform with issues related to caching, slow performance, limited scalability, and scattered content across multiple systems. The team is inexperienced with modern content management systems, leading to inefficient workflows and difficulty in handling high traffic volumes, especially during peak travel seasons.

A large, globally recognized publisher with extensive digital and print content, managing millions of content items across multiple systems seeking to modernize their online platform and improve scalability.

• Migrate approximately 4 million content items from diverse sources including legacy databases, WordPress, and internal APIs to a scalable CMS platform.
• Implement a decoupled frontend architecture utilizing ReactJS, with a robust API layer built using GraphQL to enable high-performance content delivery.
• Enhance content architecture management through flexible modelling approaches, including the use of modular content components for better editing experience.
• Establish a reliable, scalable, and secure deployment environment on a cloud platform, facilitating continuous integration and deployment.
• Empower the client's in-house team through knowledge transfer, training, and best practices for ongoing content management and platform maintenance.

• Granular content modelling using modular components to improve authoring and editing workflows.
• Migration tools leveraging the platform's API capabilities to transfer data from multiple legacy sources efficiently.
• GraphQL-based API layer supporting schema stitching to combine internal system APIs and deliver optimized content for front-end applications.
• Content repository functions serving as a backend for a decoupled frontend built with ReactJS.
• Integration with internal data systems via custom GraphQL plugins for comprehensive content aggregation.
• Deployment automation and environment configuration supporting cloud infrastructure, enabling reliable and scalable production releases.
• Performance optimization techniques for large data volumes, including dependency-aware migration sequencing and architecture refinements to improve rendering times.

• Legacy databases and CMS systems for content migration
• Internal APIs providing destination, interest points, reviews, and other metadata
• External data sources for geo-tagging, reviews, and user-generated content

• Support for high traffic volume with stable performance during peak loads
• Migration process capable of handling millions of content items with optimized speed and minimal downtime
• System security adhering to best practices for data protection and access control
• Automated deployment pipeline for rapid updates and environment consistency
• Content rendering times optimized to improve user experience and engagement

The project aims to deliver a scalable and maintainable content management infrastructure that handles millions of items efficiently, resulting in improved site performance and user experience. It will enable the client to support higher traffic volumes, reduce content management complexity, and accelerate time-to-market for new features, ultimately strengthening their position as a leading resource in their industry.
