AWS Lambda Innovation: Supercharging Your Ecommerce Solution

If you are like most enterprise retailers, you have dozens if not hundreds of existing applications built with monolithic architecture. Yet, you probably don’t have unlimited resource of developers to come in and simply replace those applications. Moreover, many retailers are not interested in major system replacements, due to cost, time, and investment, so smaller point solutions to drive change within your business may be the best strategy. This allows for shorter timelines, minimal disruptions and puts you in a better position to achieve continuous improvement as your business evolves and reacts to new customer demands.

To solve these legacy platform challenges, JBS Dev breaks out your legacy monolithic codebase into a set of smaller more manageable microservices, hosted using AWS Lambda. This microservices approach enables retailers and ecommerce organizations to design multifunctional and highly scalable ecommerce applications, simplify their testing and frequent deployment, and expedite time to market. Generally, microservices as a wrapper enables software developers to build complex, engaging solutions quickly. On the AWS Lambda architecture, retailers can quickly add new features or automate previously manual processes, improving customer service while decreasing workload. In addition, the serverless architecture can seamlessly accommodate significant swings in website traffic, without having to add more capacity or manage servers, AWS Lambda takes care of it. Not only will retailers experience better performance on AWS Lambda, but it also significantly cut compute costs.

In addition to migrating to the serverless architecture, JBS Dev can incorporate ElasticCache and the managed Amazon OpenSearch services into the solution to provide significant performance enhancements.

• Improved performance
• Enhanced customer experience
• Reduced compute costs
• Reduced database costs
• Ability to launch new revenue streams

Depending on the retailer’s specific needs for an overall solution, other AWS services may be utilized to include: S3, CloudFront, Route 53, and CloudWatch.

• Cost
• Operational efficiency
• Deployment frequency
• Decreased production support incidents
• Increased resource usage efficiency
• Better scalability and performance

As JBS Dev migrates your enterprise retail platform to AWS Lambda, the results will be immediate.
