Building a Scalable Analytics Platform for E-Commerce
April 30, 2025
E-commerce generates massive amounts of dataβfrom page views to checkouts to customer behavior. At Essid Solutions, we build analytics platforms that turn raw data into insights across marketing, product, and operations teams.
π Why E-Commerce Needs Scalable Analytics
- Track customer journeys across channels
- Measure product performance and conversion rates
- Optimize campaigns based on real-time metrics
- Detect anomalies like fraud or cart abandonment early
Without scalable infrastructure, reports become slow, inaccurate, or incomplete.
βοΈ Core Components of an E-Commerce Analytics Stack
- Data Ingestion β From Shopify, Magento, GA4, Facebook Ads, Stripe, etc.
- Event Collection β Via Segment, PostHog, or Snowplow
- Data Storage β Snowflake, BigQuery, or S3-based lakehouse
- Transformations β dbt for business logic and clean datasets
- BI Layer β Power BI, Metabase, Looker Studio, Superset
- Alerting β Revenue drop or spike detection
