The client is a global retail media technology company offering a modular platform for scalable, relevant advertising experiences. Their solutions unify sponsored and organic product rankings while connecting retailers with diverse advertiser demand sources.
Engagement Duration: 2+ years
Industry: Retail
The client sought to overhaul its application to strengthen data integration and improve overall operational efficiency. Following were the key requirements:
- Integrating systems from acquired retailers while maintaining data consistency across complex web-scraping workflows and large data volumes.
- Manual weekly web-scraping jobs slowed data processing and made it difficult to keep retailer information current.
- Limited pre-scraping data validation created potential compliance risks.
- Slow retailer data turnaround delayed timely, informed business decisions.
- Maintaining cost efficiency without compromising operational performance or scalability.
Cybage followed a modernization strategy centered on the client's data-heavy application rather than narrower microservices or ETL-only migration. The approach prioritized building ingestion, analytics, and web-scraping capabilities into a single serverless foundation on Google Cloud, giving engineering teams a flexible base to support future retailer additions and evolving data needs.
Serverless Architecture on Google Cloud
The on-premises environment was migrated to a serverless architecture on Google Cloud, eliminating the need to manage physical infrastructure and giving the flexibility to run operations without interruption.
Scalable Multi-retailer Data Framework
A scalable framework was engineered to bring together data from multiple retailer websites under a common structure, enabling the platform to absorb new retailer sources smoothly as the business grows.
Automated Web-scraping Workflows
Web-scraping jobs were automated to run on a consistent weekly schedule, collecting and processing data across different retail websites with reduced manual intervention and stronger checks built in before each run.
Centralized Data Processing and Analytics
A centralized data-processing and analytics solution was developed to consolidate retailer data in one place, giving stakeholders a single source of truth for planning and strategy.
Cybage's cloud modernization and automation delivered the following outcomes:
- 99% crash-free stability achieved for dataflow pipelines
- Up to 100% increase in web-scraping data processing throughput through optimized and parallelized workloads, enabling faster time to market
- Up to 30% reduction in operational costs through decreased infrastructure redundancy
- 24x5 performance monitoring improved web scraping reliability
- Simplified retailer sitemap creation down to only a few steps
