Summary

Centimani is a tool designed to help merchants manage large-scale product uploads to Google's Merchant Center via the Content API, addressing the limitations of traditional feed methods as product lists grow. When merchants exceed feed quotas due to a massive number of products, Centimani facilitates the transition to the Content API by processing and uploading data in manageable chunks, preventing overload and ensuring efficient handling of API requests. It operates on Google Cloud, utilizing Cloud Storage, Cloud Functions, Cloud Tasks, and BigQuery for data processing, execution coordination, and audit reporting. Merchants can configure Centimani for their needs, such as chunk size and retry strategies, and deploy it using an automated script. The tool also handles errors by storing failed slices for troubleshooting and offers a centralized monitoring system through BigQuery.
