Client & Project Brief
Client Overview:
A premium gourmet food retailer in the US with strong online sales and nationwide delivery network. The legacy Magento 1.7 system was heavily customized and hosted on shared servers — causing performance lags, frequent crashes during high-traffic periods, and compliance risks.
Project Objective:
To migrate the entire platform to Adobe Commerce Cloud (Magento 2.4) for scalability, security, and automation. Additionally, to integrate real-time warehouse logistics and carrier systems to streamline shipping, inventory, and order fulfillment operations.
Challenges
- Legacy Magento 1.7 reaching end-of-life with unstable codebase
- Manual stock updates and inconsistent warehouse synchronization
- No automated deployment or rollback system
- Shipping cost errors due to outdated third-party plugins
- PCI-DSS non-compliance and security vulnerabilities
Solution Delivered
- Re-platformed to Adobe Commerce Cloud 2.4.5 using official Magento Data Migration Tool (DMT) ensuring full order and customer data preservation
- Implemented multi-warehouse order routing logic with StoreView-level inventory segregation
- Integrated FedEx, UPS, and ShipStation APIs for dynamic carrier selection and real-time cost computation
- Configured Adobe Cloud Manager CI/CD pipelines for fully automated deployments
- Embedded Redis caching, Varnish accelerator, and Azure CDN for sub-2-second performance
- Deployed New Relic APM and Cloud Monitor for live performance visibility
- Implemented Cloud-based backup automation with 15-minute incremental snapshots
