Moonpig's main pain point was the fact that after 18 years of adding features, they were left with a lot of technical debt on a monolithic database.
Following a long-term tech strategy, Moonpig put almost all their effort behind replatforming the whole company by moving to a microservice-based architecture. Besides the commercetools commerce platform, they chose Contentful for their CMS as it is also both API-first, and headless. Moving to Platform as a Service (PaaS) wherever possible, they set up single projects for all countries.
Our customers are at the core of what we’re doing, so we like to focus on building a unique shopping experience. As a scalable cloud solution, commercetools takes care of all the background commerce processes without us having to worry about updates and maintenance.
