THE CHALLENGE
In an ambitious stride to enhance their services, Checkout.com aspired to integrate their digital payments solution with commercetools. Being one of the handful of purely headless solutions, commercetools presented both a challenge and an opportunity. The objective was clear: to innovate and craft a seamless integration, all the while fostering agility and iterative development for rapid market launch and responsive adaptations.
THE SOLUTION
Embracing the potential of AWS's serverless solution was crucial for their ambition to achieve unparalleled agility. Tools such as Lambdas, S3 buckets, and the API Gateway became integral components in this agile transformation, ensuring a significant acceleration in the development process. With Cabiri's expert involvement, the transition from ideation to alpha was impressively completed in under four weeks. This speed not only allowed a prompt market launch but also empowered iterative enhancements based on evolving requirements, continually adapting to the needs of both the business and its clients.
