Experience
Order Fulfillment Pipeline from Sportswear eCommerce Company
A java-based micro web-service pipeline for wholesale order processing of EDI files, consisting of lambdas and queues that process EDI file transform into JSON and submit to SAP. This allows communicating with RDS, failover Kafka Queues, and APIs.
The service was a solo automation QA that brought test automation into the project, completely changed the development, and released workflow. Later, it introduced service and lambda deployment and integration tests on PR creation and E2E and system tests on merge to master the release branch. The test automation contained Allure reports, filled with information such as order information, API requests, and messages before and after transformation that developers and product owners widely used.
