This involves several steps, such as selecting eligible products based on context, conducting an auction process to determine a winning set of products and their placements, all aimed at ensuring a seamless and exceptional customer experience. These tasks are accomplished through cutting-edge technology stack on the Google Cloud Platform, including GraphQL, Apollo Federation, Block Builder, React for frontend development, and Java-based microservices deployed on GKE using the Spring Boot framework. We’re also seeking to expand our presence on other storefronts and brands.
