Othaim Markets

Context

Othaim needed a content-driven storefront so merchandising could change pages without a deploy, while the Next.js app absorbed retail traffic.

Problem

CMS publish speed and storefront performance were in tension — marketing wanted independence, engineering needed a stable GraphQL layer.

  • —Headless content model complexity
  • —GraphQL query cost on catalog and landing pages
  • —Stability during traffic spikes

What I worked on

  • →Built Next.js and GraphQL storefront features
  • →Integrated Contentful as the merchandising source of truth
  • →Tuned rendering and queries for busy retail pages

Architecture & approach

Next.js App Router frontend, GraphQL against Contentful, with query and UI work aimed at publish-without-deploy and acceptable load times.

Outcome

  • ✓Non-engineers can publish storefront content without a release
  • ✓Storefront performance held up under iterative optimization
  • ✓Production remained stable through those changes
