Building a reactive e-commerce system with Lagom & React

The future of e-commerce is found in cross-platform performance and rapidly improving user experiences. While off-the-shelf software for powering e-commerce is in constant pace of development, these platforms hinder the flexibility during development by design; locking-in the developers in the tools and frameworks they provide.

Both as a way of migrating away from their legacy system as to deliver a platform for the future, Xebia helped The Sting with an incremental re-build and roll-out of a tailor-made e-commerce environment.

Using Lagom as the basis for the microservice architecture and React for the construction of the several single-page-apps powering parts of the website. “House of Brands” has built a platform for the future which enables rapid development of new functionality, easily scaling over multiple brand sites (The Sting, Costes) and reducing the TCO in the process. During this meetup we will take you on our journey at the The Sting.
