DestinationGusto: High-Scale E-commerce Architecture
DestinationGusto is a premier destination for food and wine lovers. We architected and scaled the backend infrastructure to support its rapid growth and high-volume traffic.
Problem Solved
As the user base grew to hundreds of thousands of monthly users, the existing monolithic architecture faced performance bottlenecks. Additionally, onboarding major B2B enterprise clients was a slow, manual process that took days, hindering business expansion.
Impact
Our architectural overhaul delivered tangible business results:
- Performance: Supported 100,000+ monthly users with low latency and high availability.
- Efficiency: Reduced B2B onboarding time from days to hours through automated SSO integration.
- Speed: Improved deployment velocity and maintainability by decoupling the monolith.
Solution
We implemented a modern microservices architecture and enterprise-grade integrations.
- Microservices Transition: Decomposed the monolith into efficient, independently scalable microservices.
- Enterprise SSO: Led the integration of Single Sign-On (SSO) for B2B clients, streamlining access and security.
- API Gateway & CMS: Implemented a robust API Gateway pattern to manage traffic and integrations with Shopify, Synerise, and Sendgrid.
