Serverless Microservices and AI for Retail
In the retail sector, serverless microservices and AI offer a game-changing, cloud-native solution.

These services automatically adjust to fluctuating customer demands and seasonal variations, eliminating the complexities of infrastructure management.
The integration of AI provides powerful insights into consumer behaviour, improves inventory management and personalises the shopping experience. This combination drives operational efficiency, reduces costs and ensures retailers remain agile, customer-centric and competitive in a fast-paced marketplace.
