Cloud Migration and Platform Modernization for E-Commerce

E-Commerce & Retail

Overview

A mid-market e-commerce company with $50M in annual revenue was struggling with an aging monolithic platform that couldn't handle peak traffic and was slowing down feature delivery.

The Challenge

The legacy monolith was built on outdated technology, making it difficult to recruit developers and impossible to scale individual components. Deployments were risky all-or-nothing affairs that required weekend maintenance windows, and the platform regularly crashed during sales events.

The Solution

DHDTech.io assembled a team of four senior engineers -- two backend, one frontend, and one DevOps specialist -- who executed a strangler fig migration over 8 months. Critical services (cart, checkout, search) were extracted into independent microservices, a new React storefront was built, and the entire infrastructure was migrated from on-premise servers to AWS EKS with auto-scaling capabilities.
