Migrating E-commerce Architecture from Monolithic COTS to Microservices Platform

A $350 million U.S. distributor of food and beverage equipment, supplies and branded merchandise wanted to streamline its e-commerce platforms to enable higher volume and velocity for planned business growth. They turned to Cimphoni consultants to develop a new e-commerce platform that reduced the time-to-market for customer customizations, while also reducing maintenance and support costs. This involved the redesign, re-architecture and deployment of the new microservices-based platform, while continuing to support and sunset the legacy system. The new platform includes CI/CD automation to support the continuous delivery of new functionality. By running both systems in parallel, the client was able to contrast opportunities for improvement, validate business hypotheses and test different design options, making the transition seamless for the organization’s customers.
