eCommerce Platforms: Comprehensive Commerce Solutions

Traditional eCommerce platforms offer a comprehensive suite of solutions. Unlike a microservices approach, monolithic platforms run all business components on the same server, communicate with the same database, and use the same file system. As a result, developing, deploying, and scaling monolithic platforms can be fast. Monolithic structures are also capable of running applications quickly–optimizing the user experience.

Advantages of a Comprehensive eCommerce Platform

A comprehensive eCommerce platform allows businesses to go to market quickly with proven eCommerce solutions. The advantages of a monolithic platform include:

Quick to launch with out-of-the-box solutions

Integrated backend and frontend tools

Easy integration with existing business tools (e.g. ERP, CRM, CPQ, Billing)

Microservices vs. Monolithic Platforms

Monolithic platforms can offer comprehensive solutions for businesses looking to drive digital revenue with tools integrated into already existing systems (e.g. Salesforce CRM or Oracle’s ERP).

Microservices can provide a high level of customization, but can be more complex and costly to design and build. For more straightforward projects, monolithic solutions can be a best fit, launching an MVP and either iterating or adding microservices as needed.
