The previous post, Portfolio Architecture Examples: Healthcare Collection, begins with a project overview, introduction, and examples of tooling and workshops available for the project. You may want to refer back to that post to gain insight into the background of Portfolio Architectures before reading further. The collection featured today is centered around architectures in the retail industry. There are currently seven architectures in this collection. We’ll provide a short overview of each, leaving the in-depth exploration as an exercise for the reader. In each of these architecture overviews, you’ll find a table of contents outlining the technologies used, several example schematic diagrams with descriptions, and a link in the last section to open the diagrams directly into the online tooling in your browser. Retail is the process of selling consumer goods or services to customers through multiple channels of distribution to earn a profit. Retailers satisfy the demand identified through a supply chain. The term „retailer“ is typically applied when a service provider fills the small orders of many individuals who are end-users, rather than large orders of a small number of wholesale, corporate, or government clientele.
