E-commerce Webedia

A marketplace rebuilt with Symfony, cached and brought in-house at Webedia.

Pourdebon.com is the Webedia group's food marketplace. As OPS and full-stack developer from 2016 to 2018, I maintained the original Drupal site, then led its rebuild with Symfony and evolved its infrastructure.

01 · The brief

A legacy site to evolve without stopping it.

The site ran on Drupal 7, hosted on platform.sh, with a catalogue fed by several tools: Akeneo for product data, Mirakl for the marketplace. It had to be maintained day to day while preparing a faster foundation that was easier to evolve.

02 · What I did

A complete rebuild, from application to hosting.

  • Corrective maintenance and improvements of the Drupal 7 site, front end and back office
  • Rebuild of the site with Symfony 3.4
  • Varnish set-up and a crawler that warms up the cache
  • Interfaces with Akeneo and Mirakl for products and sellers
  • SEO overhaul, tagging for Google Shopping and Facebook Pixel
  • ELK stack (Kibana) to monitor activity, migration from platform.sh to the Webedia datacenter

03 · The outcome

  • Speed Pages served from the Varnish cache, warmed up by a dedicated crawler.
  • Hosting under control A site migrated from platform.sh to the Webedia group's datacenter.
  • Visibility A reworked SEO and a catalogue tagged for Google Shopping and Facebook.
