A leading US-based omnichannel retailer is modernizing its digital platforms to better support its customer-centric culture, aiming to find new ways to engage with customers while keeping its IT architecture simple, resilient, and scalable. The retailer has undergone several digital transformations, including moving from an old ASP.net application to a headless architecture and adopting cloud-based Spring Boot microservices deployed with Kubernetes. To optimize its e-commerce platform, the retailer chose YugabyteDB as the database for key workloads such as promotions engine, catalog, customer accounts, registries, and card and checkout. By modernizing its core e-commerce platform, the retailer expects faster website and mobile app performance, more resilient services, and lower operating costs. The database plays a crucial role in supporting the retailer's microservices-based architecture, allowing for easy scaling, deployment of changes, and targeting improved performance of individual services. With YugabyteDB, the retailer achieved low latency and high availability, meeting its performance-at-scale requirements and enabling faster deployments and independent team work.
