Abstract: Pet ecommerce has seen rapid growth recently, leading to challenges in supporting high traffic demands. This paper examines how to architect robust, scalable cloud infrastructure to withstand surges in activity. Cloud-native principles, microservices, and serverless computing are evaluated for horizontal scalability. Furthermore, enhancements to search and discovery through natural language processing and AI are proposed to improve customer experience. The paper provides recommendations for pet retail platforms seeking to leverage the cloud and modern algorithms to boost resilience and relevance.
