A Modern Marketplace for a Hyper Growth Tech Company
The marketplace solution that’s cloud-native, scalable, and lightning-fast.
Challenges
Elementor wanted to build a centralized marketplace to help their web creator community members sustain their businesses.
The challenge with larger marketplaces (like Fiverr and Upwork and every other highly scalable platform) is that in WordPress or even in an applicative-oriented CMS like Drupal, you will eventually hit a glass ceiling, resulting in missed opportunities.
Elementor needed the marketplace to be cloud-native, scalable, lightning-fast, and secure, easily manageable from WordPress and Elementor itself.
The platform needed to strike a balance between being market-driven, yet also application-based.
The Marketplace Solution
The solution we created strikes the perfect balance between their CMS and the application.
The solution is made up of complex applications with React, GraphQL, and NoSQL databases like Mongo and Elasticsearch. This software stack, paired with Kubernetes-based microservices, configured to autoscale, gives us the ability to create a secure, scalable, and super fast marketplace. In this case, the Elementor Expert marketplace.
The marketplace is a central platform for Elementor and WordPress specialists, making it easy to collaborate and work together.
Elementor’s marketers can use the same tools they are familiar with.
It includes:
Built-in search with autocomplete, search synonyms, and faceted searching
Lightning-fast so UI changes happen without having to refresh the page
Mapping existing CMS content, index it and make it easier to be searched, sorted, and filtered.
A modern and scalable microservice / cloud-native infrastructure that was designed to scale to the millions and provide the perfect platform for building a custom marketplace.
Works within WordPress, allowing the marketing team to work with their preferred set of tools and within the ecosystem, they know so well.
