The Vyaktra Intervention

We executed a full headless migration. We kept their backend logic but replaced the entire frontend with a custom Next.js architecture deployed on Vercel's Edge Network.

Key Engineering Wins:

  • Instant Page Transitions: Using pre-fetching to make the site feel like a native app.
  • Edge Caching: Serving product data from the nearest global data center to the user.
  • Optimized Checkout: A custom-built, one-page checkout flow that reduced friction.
"The results were immediate. Within 48 hours of the DNS cutover, our mobile conversion rate jumped from 1.2% to 4.1%."
