Retail & E-Commerce
Multi-vendor marketplaces, inventory management, POS integration, and personalisation engines built to handle Black Friday traffic.
What makes this hard
Every industry has its own engineering traps. Here are the ones that catch most teams building in this space.
Traffic spikes are unpredictable and costly
Seasonal peaks and flash sales cause outages on platforms not built for elastic scaling.
Inventory accuracy across channels is hard
Overselling and stockouts damage customer trust and create operational chaos.
Marketplace complexity grows fast
Multi-vendor commission structures, seller tooling, and dispute resolution need dedicated engineering.
Personalisation requires sophisticated infrastructure
Effective recommendations need real-time event pipelines, feature stores, and ML infrastructure.
