Today we continue the system design discussion on the online retail store
We talk about API services from the store. We already saw that we organized each of the store activity in its own service. Consequently the store API is a collection of APIs from each of the services listed earlier. The APIs may be offered through public cloud endpoints and they are monitored with CloudWatch like services. Previously there was an appeal to use private datacenter services with the API hosted behind the firewall along with caching. This was relevant for Master Data Management MDM services where it was important for the company to safeguard its master data and organize it behind its own services. This also facilitated proxy services that can collect statistics and troubleshooting information. The public cloud offerings are equally capable if not better. Besides, public APIs are easily accessible by both end user desktops and their mobile devices. Native applications for the mobile devices can be developed independently from the site core. Caching services from the public cloud can not only facilitate easier content retrieval but also store full business objects. There's a perception that cloud based services suffer from networking delays but the performance is good and with abilities to re-route and tunnel. Similarly privacy and security standards for data at rest and in transit is inproved with standards. From allowing the web application back access to the company's VPN to all the way hosting each and every service on the public cloud, an organization may choose to have any degree of presence in the cloud.
For a business owner considering an online store, there are many options. First, There are online shopping stores that allow joining as a partner on seller forums. Second, there are vendors that provide seller services as a package with customizations for the company. Third, the company may choose to implement its own services.
