A Seamless Shopping Experience, Powered by Dapr
The Sharper Image Commerce Cloud is composed of over 70+ microservices running in production on Kubernetes, processing in excess of 80,000+ orders per day at peak periods such as Black Friday. The business critical role of this system means it must be stable under pressure, respond to changes with agility, and the development team can quickly identify and solve problems.
Simplified Microservices Development
Camelot SI has been a user of the Dapr project for many years and it has become a core component in their business solutions. The Sharper Image Commerce Cloud depends on Dapr for pub/sub asynchronous communication, synchronous service invocation, state management, and task scheduling. Dapr has significantly simplified microservices development by abstracting the complexities associated with setting up services compared to the previous in-house microservices framework.
Reduced Infrastructure Costs, Enhanced Operational Efficiency
By transitioning to Dapr, Camelot SI eliminated the overhead associated with their custom microservices framework, leading to substantial cloud infrastructure cost savings. Dapr's lightweight and efficient design has proven to be instrumental in optimizing resource utilization, thereby reinforcing its value in their technology stack. Switching to Dapr delivered over 99% reduction in CPU usage from 3.5 to 0.03 cores.
