Many eCommerce businesses reach a point where the existing architecture no longer meets the demands of growth. What was the market norm yesterday, today might be an outdated piece of technology that holds you back. Omnichannel models that everyone strives to implement now provide an especially strong impulse for modernization because of their demanding nature.
When it comes to upgrading your eCommerce architecture, one of the biggest leaps forward you can make is the process of decomposition. Simply put, it means transforming a monolithic solution with a tightly coupled front and back end into a composable architecture that lets you pick and choose all the different components. Among other benefits, this lets you precisely match solutions with your business needs and boost the performance of your store.
The process of decomposition can bring spectacular results, but it requires proper planning and know-how to conduct it the right way. That’s why we released our “Unlocking growth” eBook. It goes over the basics of decomposition and suggests three different migration scenarios crafted by our experts. Here’s a little taste of what you’ll find inside.

2. Addressing monolithic pain points
Why is there a need for eCommerce decomposition in the first place? It’s a valuable question that deserves attention, especially in challenging times when businesses would rather avoid costly projects.

3. Three real-world scenarios and strategies
Composable architecture provides you with practically limitless configurations of modules that you can decide on. Accordingly, there are almost limitless ways in which you can approach building the eCommerce ecosystem in the first place.
That said, the three scenarios proposed by our experts are more about the big picture than the nitty-gritty. They serve as jumping-off points for the beginning of your project to showcase what’s possible and choose the broader approach for you and your business.
