HEADLESS COMMERCE
Is your monolith holding you back?
Composable architectures, API-first, front/back decoupling. We build modern e-commerce platforms that evolve with your ambitions, without starting over.
SYMPTOMS
The symptoms of a platform that's reached its limits
Every change takes weeks
Modify a page, add a market, change a workflow. Your monolithic platform turns every request into a project.
The front-end is trapped by the back-end
Your design team is limited by what the CMS allows. User experience is dictated by technology, not by your customers.
Performance degrades under load
Promotions, seasonal peaks, growth. Your platform slows down when you need it most.
Can't integrate new tools
Every new integration is a headache. PIM, ERP, CRM, search engine. The monolith resists everything external.
Multi-market impossible
Languages, currencies, different catalogs per region. Your current architecture wasn't designed for this.
Vendor lock-in
You're dependent on a single vendor for everything. Licenses, roadmap, limitations. No flexibility.
REAL CASE
From monolith to headless. Without interruption.
Migration of an ATG Commerce platform to a decoupled architecture for a national retailer. Objective: eliminate performance issues during traffic spikes.
THE PROBLEM
Black Friday: widespread congestion
A newsletter generates a massive traffic spike. Product page rendering overloads the database. Result: checkout slows down, orders timeout, customers abandon.
Observed symptoms
• Pages taking 2+ seconds to load during spikes
• Order service impacted by browsing traffic
• Impossible to scale one component without scaling everything
• Each update requires a complete deployment
THE SOLUTION
Progressive decoupling, component by component
No big bang migration. Creation of an independent presentation layer that handles page rendering and visit traffic. ATG focuses on what it does best: cart and orders.
Approach
• Presentation layer decoupled from commerce engine
• Real-time integration with Kafka for critical data
• Smart caching to absorb traffic spikes
• Each service scales independently based on its needs
THE RESULT
Stabilized performance
Browsing traffic no longer affects the order service. Each component scales independently. Deployments are targeted, without risk of global regression.
Benefits
• Traffic spikes absorbed without checkout impact
• More frequent deployments, less risky
• Ability to replace components one at a time
• More agile team, fewer dependencies
HONEST COMPARISON
Headless is not always the answer
We don't recommend headless if your context doesn't call for it. Here's how to determine if this approach is right for your organization.
Criteria

Headless / Composable
Decoupled architecture
Initial time-to-market
✓ Fast (weeks)
◐ Longer (months)
Initial cost
✓ Lower
◐ Higher
Performance at scale
◐ Limits at high volume
✓ Horizontal scalability
UX flexibility
◐ Constrained by themes
✓ Total freedom
Operational complexity

◐ Specialists
✓ Headless recommended if:
→ You have significant traffic spikes (Black Friday, flash sales)
→ You want a custom experience, differentiated from competitors
→ You have multiple frontends (web, app, kiosk, marketplace)
→ Your ERP/PIM/OMS requires complex integrations
→ You plan to replace components in the future
○ Stay on monolith if:
→ Your catalog is small (<1000 SKUs) and stable
→ You don't have an internal technical team
→ Limited budget and need to go to market quickly
→ Your needs are covered by native features
→ You don't have current performance issues
