The challenge

Their previous e-commerce platform suffered from slow page loads and a high-friction checkout, suppressing conversion. Inventory sync was manual and error-prone.

The solution

We redesigned and rebuilt the e-commerce core with a mobile-first, frictionless checkout flow, real-time inventory, and personalized recommendations powered by simple ML.

Technical Constraints, Decisions & Trade-offs

Real software engineering involves navigating constraints, solving early bottlenecks, and making deliberate trade-offs.

Core Architectural Constraints

  • Sub-500ms catalog filter response across 5,000+ SKU inventory variations
  • Instant cart mutation feedback with zero full-page reloads
  • Strict idempotency on webhook order fulfillment and payment verification

Initial Bottleneck & Diagnosis

Dynamic multi-attribute database queries caused query execution spikes under high concurrency when shoppers combined size, color, and price filters.

Implemented pre-computed inverted facet indexes with edge caching

Rationale

Reduced filter response time from 640ms to 24ms across high-traffic shopping spikes.

Engineering Trade-off

Required background index revalidation hooks on inventory mutations.

Optimistic cart state with server action verification

Rationale

Delivered zero-perceived-latency add-to-cart interactions.

Engineering Trade-off

Required client rollback handling for edge-case out-of-stock events.

What We Learned & Retrospective

โ€œPre-computing product facet indexes prior to peak promotional launches delivered 100% uptime with zero database resource bottlenecks.โ€
