Project Summary

Reenbit rebuilt a monolithic e-commerce platform into a modern, containerized Azure application, responsible for backend and DevOps and delivering a modular REST API layer. The team designed and implemented a scalable microservices architecture, created a headless CMS prototype, and integrated complex checkout, payment, and loyalty features. Their work enabled quick developer onboarding via environments, pipelines, and API docs and delivered a production-ready solution in nine months.

Key Challenges

  • Rebuild a monolithic, archaic e-commerce platform into a modern stateless containerized Azure application.
  • Future-proof the platform to work with an immovable third-party business engine and existing database while enabling future decoupling.
  • Deliver API-first development to allow frontend scaling across web and native devices.

Project Deliverables

  • New REST API layer (modular, JSON)
  • Containerized stateless application on Azure
  • Microservices architecture and CI/CD pipeline (environments, pipeline, swagger docs)
  • Headless CMS prototype and integration (Builder.io)
  • API-driven checkout and payment integrations
  • Customer loyalty and discount program via APIs
  • Logging, monitoring, load and performance testing

Project Solution

Reenbit designed and implemented a modular REST API layer and containerized, stateless microservices architecture on Azure to replace a monolithic e-commerce platform. They built backend integrations with an immovable third-party business engine, produced Swagger API docs and CI/CD pipelines, developed a headless CMS prototype (Builder.io) to feed a React front-end, and handled backend DevOps tasks to enable rapid developer onboarding and iterative sprint delivery over the nine-month project.

Project Outcome

  • Published a technical design reviewed and approved in less than a week.
  • Established environments, CI/CD pipeline, and Swagger docs enabling developers to start work within days.
  • Built a headless CMS prototype in a 2-week sprint proving the CMS approach.
  • Delivered a new API-driven online shopping experience across 18 localized markets in nine months.
  • Implemented API-driven checkout with complex tax rules and multiple payment integrations.
  • Delivered a customer loyalty and discount system while maintaining existing customer data integrity.
  • Provided logging, monitoring, and performance testing to optimize reliability and cost-efficiency.
