Context
A digital commerce platform enabling merchants to sell game tokens and digital goods across multiple providers and regions. The system needed to abstract away highly fragmented external catalogs while maintaining reliability at scale.
What made it non-trivial
- Inconsistent product naming, SKUs, and structures across providers
- Region-specific pricing, availability, and compliance rules
- Redundant and overlapping catalog entries across storefronts
- Provider instability that could not affect downstream systems
- Need for traceability, reproducibility, and safe reprocessing of data
What we did
We designed and implemented the ingestion pipeline, normalization logic, internal product model, and operational safeguards across the platform. This included defining how external data mapped into a unified internal representation and how failures were isolated.
Outcome
The platform shipped with a stable internal catalog, predictable ingestion behavior, and the ability to onboard new providers without reworking existing systems. Merchants gained reliable local fulfillment while internal teams retained confidence in data consistency.
