Alisuq — a scalable storefront and back office for a growing catalogue

A fast-growing catalogue across very different product categories needed a storefront and back office that could keep up with both the range and the traffic.

What we changed

  1. 1

    Built the platform around a large, frequently changing product catalogue.

  2. 2

    Made the storefront behave consistently across desktop, tablet and phone.

  3. 3

    Put it on infrastructure that scales with demand rather than falling over at peaks.

What changed operationally

  • Catalogue changes go live without engineering involvement each time.
  • Traffic peaks are absorbed rather than survived.
  • One codebase serves every device customers actually use.

This engagement predates our documented baseline process, so we are not attaching percentages to it after the fact. Engagements starting now get a measured baseline in week one and a KPI report against it.
