How It’s Built

Platform Architecture

Composable Commerce For All Businesses

All Kibo products are modular, independent, and designed for interoperability to support composable strategies and tech partnerships.

Platform

Purchase the entire “platform” at a more attractive price than best-of-breed solutions, or gradually add modules over time.

Single Solutions

Deploy and get to market faster with single solutions and add modules as business and customer needs evolve.

Packaged Modules

Enhance older systems with modules equipped with a depth of features, pre-made workflows, and business-friendly UI.

Built on Future-Ready Architecture

Kibo is a best fit for businesses that prioritize pre-integrated solutions with shared services across functional areas and modern architecture to reuse, recompose or replace as needs change

Modular

Easily build what you need with pre-packaged business capabilities — and without the hassle of piecing together granular microservices.

Unified

Experience unified capabilities with individually developed microservices, a user-friendly interface, and a consistent data model across all solutions.

M.A.C.H.

Accelerate commerce strategies with M.A.C.H. architecture: Microservices, API-First, Cloud-Native, Headless.

Flexible Platform Deployment Options

Flexible platform deployment options which can be deployed on any platform architecture (e.g., AWS and GCP).

Logical Deployment Architecture

 

  • Enhances flexibility with clearly separated and well-defined architectural layers.
  • Deploys, updates, and upgrades independent services.
  • Optimizes data storage based on the data that each service needs.
  • Deploys microservices as containers on Kubernetes.
  • Independently scales each service and its data tier to meet varying demands.
  • Enables selective deployment of the appropriate services as needed
LOGICAL DEPLOYMENT ARCHITECTURE

Extend Kibo’s Platform to Your Entire Ecosystem

Kibo’s managed extensibility is rich access to modification of the underlying microservices source code without the cost. 100% API cover ensures teams retain a deep level of control without learning new languages or using unfamiliar tools. Extensions are managed, hosted and scaled by Kibo in the same data center as microservices at no cost to the customer and no risk latency between core platform and customizations.

Kibo extensibility

Data Extensibility

  • Extend domain objects with custom attributes.
  • Create custom entities to track data not supported in the platform

Business Process Management

  • Customize business process and workflow management.
  • Visual editor to create workflow

API Extensions (Synchronous)

  • Fully managed service that allows 3rd party developers to extend and override platform APIs with clear separation of core and extensions
  • Core platform API performance unaffected by extension
  • Development framework built on Node.js
Kibo extensibility

API Extensions (Asynchronous)

  • Respond to events generated in the platform by registering webhooks with custom apps or serverless functions
  • Leverage full set of SDKs to develop in language of choice

Data Integration

  • High performance import/export APIs to ingest and extract data from transaction systems
  • Flexible approaches to extracting data from the warehouse platform for client specific analytic workloads

Application Integration Platform

  • Marketplace and embedded iPaaS provide 500+ integrations to a large ecosystems of vendors in commerce
