About products
This draws my attention completely
Outstanding numbers
I was impressed by these figures
Why should you hire me?
To answer the question, I would like to demonstrate how I can add more value to your company.
Let me show you some examples...
I tried to analyze your websites in terms of public access.
By doing this, I would use mytoys.de as an example.
- The first response (HTML page) with about 300-400ms.
=> Maybe we could cache those pages to optimize response time to less than 100ms.
- Static files should move to CDN to reduce the number of requests to the server and optimize the loading time.
- Although some pages used React, it did not apply to all pages.
- We should merge checkout pages and storefronts into one domain.
=> This could be good for the customer's experience.
We should use Next and React instead of just using server-side rendering (SSR).
With Next, it does not only keep SSR, which is ideal for SEO, but we also utilize it with client-side rendering. This means that the response time is optimized.
My additional advice
What's more?
Your websites are doing great
- Great UI/UX
- Good for SEO
- Working well with mobile devices
- Images used CDN by Akamai
- Lazy loading images
- Using jQuery to handle requests from REST APIs
The good things
Migration
I also have hands-on experience when migrating system from Google Cloud to AWS.
- Zero downtime deployment
- Avoid breaking existing features
- Maintain both legacy and new systems
- Develop new features at the same time
- Optimize time and effort
Possible challenges during migration
- Build proof of concept first
- Transform the system into microservices
- Build a recovery process
- Use blue-green deployment
- Build deployment pipelines (CI/CD)
- Migrate services one by one
