Challenges of Outdated Monolithic Systems in Global Luxury Retail

The client operates a complex eCommerce platform built on a PHP monolith that has become increasingly difficult to maintain and extend due to scaling issues and growing business needs. As the company expanded its product catalog and entered new markets, the existing system's limitations hinder agility, performance, and integration capabilities, risking operational disruptions during migration or feature deployment.

About the Client

  • Enhance system scalability and performance to efficiently handle peak traffic periods such as seasonal sales and special promotional events.
  • Develop and integrate new features including internationalization support, advanced third-party integrations, and SEO-optimized frontend redesign.
  • Improve system maintainability and extensibility to support ongoing business growth and rapid feature deployment.
  • Establish robust infrastructure and automation practices to ensure system reliability and resilience.

Core Functional Capabilities for a Next-Generation E-commerce Platform

  • Microservices architecture orchestrated via containerization platforms such as Kubernetes.
  • Web application frontend redesigned for high SEO performance, optimized for page load speed and structure.
  • Internationalization engine supporting multiple languages, including right-to-left (RTL) and Asian character standards.
  • Integration framework for third-party services such as payment gateways, logistics providers, and marketing tools.
  • Automated remarketing and user tracking tools to support personalized marketing and customer engagement.
  • Continuous deployment pipelines and automated testing to ensure zero system downtime during updates.
