Commerce Demands Speed and Reliability

Page performance drives conversion. Cloud-native architectures and disciplined operations deliver faster pages, stable checkouts, and flexible merchandising without service risk.

Performance Architecture

• Edge Delivery: CDN with cache keys tuned to personalization and inventory freshness.

• Service Composition: API gateway patterns, BFFs for storefronts, and circuit breakers for dependencies.

• Data Platform: Real-time events for product views, carts, and orders to power recommendations and pricing.

Release Safely, Iterate Quickly

• Paved Paths: Standard CI/CD with integration tests and synthetic user journeys.

• Progressive Delivery: Blue-green and canary releases with automated rollback on error budget burn.

• Experimentation: A/B testing as a service with guardrails for user experience and margin protection.

Operational Excellence

• SRE Metrics: SLOs for page P95, checkout success, search relevance, and inventory sync.

• Observability: End-to-end correlation from browser to backend and third-parties.

• Resilience: Multi-AZ active-active for critical paths, and DR drills before peak events.

FinOps with Commercial Lens

• Cost per Order: Unit economics tied to campaign spikes and edge usage.

• Autoscaling: Predictive scaling around peak windows and regional promotions.

• Storage Lifecycle: Catalog, media, and logs tiered by value and access patterns.

90-Day Action Plan

Implement a storefront performance baseline, migrate one service path to progressive delivery, and roll out a conversion-performance scorecard to guide backlog priorities.
