Case Study: Victoria Beckham
Introduction
While other projects had enjoyed the rapid development made
possible by Shopify’s themes, the approach to instead use their Journey to the tech stack
APIs might appear to have created more work. Longevity and flexibility
The team at Fostr created a layer of abstraction between the data services and their site generator. Useful links
This allowed them to more efficiently combine and enrich data from their different APIs , and also
avoid tightly coupling between the APIs and the web site.

Reusing this architecture thus became even more viable for future projects which might have slightly
differing APIs and services intended to drive their site. The front-end development and interface

Meanwhile, the product pages, where the customer initially engages with the products and the brand,
receive supercharged performance as a result of being generated at build time rather than at request
time, and served directly from a CDN. This performance has drawn the attention of other luxury
brands as Ryan Foster commented:
The developer experience also flourished. Since the site was generated by Gridsome as part of an
automated build, and populated at build time with various APls and content feeds, it was simple to CASE STUDY
bootstrap the development environment and generate many different environments for the purposes
of staging and feature reviews. The Fostr team were able to iterate more quickly and collaborate Introduction
much more closely with their clients at Victoria Beckham Beauty.
