The Challenge
A UK retailer's e-commerce platform struggled with performance under high traffic periods, slow page loads, and a rigid content management system that slowed the team's ability to update product listings and run campaigns. The legacy stack created reliability and scalability constraints that limited the business's online growth.
The Solution
Techseria rebuilt the platform on a PHP Laravel backend with AngularJS frontend, containerised with Docker and orchestrated via Kubernetes for scalable deployment on cloud infrastructure. A new content management layer gave the commercial team control over product and campaign content without developer dependency. Performance optimisation addressed page load speeds across desktop and mobile.
