Thanks for that post. That is impressive that you went with the best/fastest tech available today rather than just leverage what was done with Harrys. I am interested with what you actually used for the e-commerce part of it. Are you interacting with your systems that you made for Harrys with GraphQL or did you use a JAM stack orientated solution like gocommerce?

Thank you! We have plans to build many more frontends in the coming years, so it felt like an appropriate time to step back and see what other solutions were out there.

For the e-commerce part of it, it's a custom API written in Scala that handles our inventory, warehouse, and fulfillment needs. As well as interfacing with Stripe for actual order processing. Want to get that team to write their own blog post as several people have asked about it!
