- The solution proposes a cloud-based e-commerce application using a microservices architecture hosted on Azure. Key services include Azure WAF, VPN, subnets, API Management, Azure AD/OAuth 2.0, Azure Cosmos DB, and Azure Media Services.
- The application would be broken into bounded contexts and microservices for functions like search, browse, cart, orders, recommendations, and administration. Services like Elasticsearch, Redis, Cassandra, and SQL would be used for data storage.
- High risks include cost optimization on the cloud, testing environments, infrastructure as code, microservices communication complexity, training on cloud technologies, and implementing continuous integration/deployment pipelines.
