Applying “web scale” patterns (...)
summary
Retail back office at bol.com runs dozens of small services (about 117 services) serving millions of customers and ~2 million daily unique visitors with a 15 million‑item catalog. The team uses event sourcing to push supplier invoices and stock allowances into instant price recalculation, splits inventory and warehouse into separate services to avoid contention, and adopts polyglot persistence (MongoDB, Cassandra, Hadoop plus caches) with per‑feature Docker pipelines and continuous deployment to survive peaks (~3,000 req/s) and keep changes fast.
