Solution
Technical Execution
The transition began with decoupling the front-end from the back-end, enabling independent development cycles. Expert Soft’s back-end team adapted the platform’s core services to function via reusable APIs, re-implementing key functions like authentication and authorization for seamless integration with the front-end.
Initially built as a custom SPA using Redux, the front-end was later migrated to Spartacus, SAP’s headless storefront framework. Our engineers implemented both predefined and custom components, reduced redundant API calls through efficient front-end caching, and significantly improved page load speeds.
Challenges Addressed
- Ensured synchronization between front-end and back-end APIs during migration
- Resolved SPA-related SEO issues by adapting HTML rendering logic for proper indexing
- Developed cache strategies to maintain content accuracy across decoupled systems
