Cloud Integration for an e-commerce enterprise

This internship is provided byi8c Cloud Native. The competence center which helps businesses and governments adopt cloud native technologies in their integration architectures.

Introduction

In this internship you’ll build cloud integrations for an e-commerce use case. You’ll use the latest technical innovations in the area of cloud development, event driven architectures and Integration. The Integration platform builds on top of today’s leading cloud provider AWS (Amazon Web Services).

The e-commerce company, our use case, consists of multiple business applications which together fulfil their customer needs. Their end customers interact via multiple channels, one of which is the Magento webshop to place orders. The core of the customer relation & marketing is centered around an industry standard Salesforce SaaS offering. An SAP system takes care of the order processes, and they centralized the product management in another separate microservice.

All these systems need to seamlessly work together to make sure that the business processes can be efficiently executed. It is the combination of these systems which provides the company’s added value. On top of that, evolving customer expectations requires the company that all the integrations are implemented in a realtime, and event-driven way.
