Spurtcommerce: Monolithic to Microservices

In the ever-evolving world of online shopping, Spurtcommerce emerged as a strong eCommerce solution. It all began when Suresh Sekar, our founder, decided to enter the world of eCommerce development using NodeJS—as a prudent choice that would shape the development journey of eCommerce in a whole new transformed way. Although he was confident about his venture, he had not exactly foreseen that a solution combining NodeJS with full access to the source code would become such a valuable advantage for developers and business owners in the eCommerce industry.

Over time, Spurtcommerce's story unfolded with determination, creativity, and unwavering commitment. During this period, our team began to realize the huge potential of Node.js technology, which inspired us to expand our basic online store solution into something much more substantial. So, the team started working towards constantly improving the solution and bringing new versions with new features and enhancements.

Suresh recognized the potential of Spurtcommerce and decided to make a significant move. He chose to provide a basic version of the system for single-vendor businesses, featuring an admin interface and a storefront, which was called the community edition. Alongside this, we also introduced a premium edition with more advanced features for Single Vendor businesses and also another premium edition tailored for multi-vendor setups. This decision aimed to accommodate a wider range of businesses with different needs and preferences.

The turning point came when we decided to transform our single-vendor system into a platform open to community contributions. This decision demonstrated our commitment to growth and adaptability as we responded to the changing eCommerce landscape. Further to this, the Multi-Vendor Solution provided us with the means to meet the requirements of a wider range of potential users.

In its essence, Spurtcommerce remained an exceptional eCommerce solution, driven by the robust foundation of Node.js, a key factor that distinguished the solution from others on older tech stacks. This solid foundation, along with our team's hard work, laid the groundwork for Spurtcommerce's success. People from all around the world appreciated what our platform could do, and their satisfaction echoed through the online world.

But as technology continued to advance, some of our clients began to wonder if switching to a microservices setup could give them more flexibility and scalability. This question ignited a passion within our team.

With determination, we embarked on a year-long journey to explore and make changes. Late-night discussions, brainstorming on whiteboards, and lively debates became the norm. Our goal was not only to reshape Spurtcommerce's architecture but also to retain its core essence.

Today, we celebrate the culmination of this determined effort—we've launched the new Spurtcommerce with microservices. It's a masterpiece of coding, clear proof of our dedication, and a testament to the fact that hard work pays off.

We want to express our heartfelt thanks to our development team, the individuals who interact with our clients, and everyone who played a part in this significant achievement. However, our deepest gratitude goes to Suresh Sekar, the founder of Spurtcommerce, whose visionary leadership paved the way for the success of Spurtcommerce.

As people around the world discover the new Spurtcommerce, we are filled with pride. This moment marks the beginning of a new chapter for Spurtcommerce—a story of growth, dreams realized, and a bright future. To our developers, this achievement is dedicated to you
