Project Overview
The client already has the web-based eCommerce platform where they are selling their fitness products, however, they faced several challenges in terms of customer satisfaction, website performance, and customer retention. We analyzed the existing architecture to help improve its performance and drive business growth.

Challenges
- Data security was a critical challenge.
- Migration of the existing website from ReactJS to Next JS.
- Implementing extensible Microservice architecture.
- Implementing application monitoring proactively.
Solution
After understanding the pain points and the competition, our team implemented microservices architecture, application performance monitoring and real-time alerts, analyzed the MongoDB performance and more to overcome the challenges to enhance users and sales.
We could solve their problem by simply thinking out-of-the-box, introducing them with the best features and the models they rely on.
Here is what we did:
