About This Project

End-to-end e-commerce backend powering catalogue, inventory, and order flows for a UK workwear brand, built for high availability and smooth integrations.

Problem

The Workwear Co needed to modernize a manually curated catalogue and fragile order pipeline before expanding across the UK. Legacy tooling caused frequent stock mismatches and delayed fulfillment handoffs to their ERP.

Solution

Designed a NestJS service mesh layered on PostgreSQL with event-driven order orchestration. Built catalog sync tooling, automated fulfillment handoffs, and wired AWS ECS blue/green deployments with observability to keep the stack resilient through seasonal spikes.

Project Goals

  • Launch a resilient e-commerce backend that keeps pace with seasonal demand
  • Streamline catalogue and inventory sync across ERP and CMS
  • Automate order orchestration from checkout to warehouse fulfillment

Key Achievements

  • Migrated legacy catalogue into a normalized Postgres data model with zero downtime
  • Implemented API-first order pipeline with idempotent workflows powering ERP fulfillment
  • Set up blue/green deployments on AWS ECS with automated rollbacks and CloudWatch alerting
