FAQ

Yes, Sylentrix is designed for headless shopping experiences across storefronts, apps and channels and allows brands, wholesaler, and retailers to adopt new technologies seamlessly and select those that align best with their strategic vision. To support headless, Sylentrix provides: Low-code Sylentrix is low-code, offering an easy to use developer-friendly data serialization language, using indentation to separate objects and fields. Developers can manage entire service lifecycles by designing, delivering, and assuring end-to-end journeys. Experiences Sylentrix adopts and supports experiences that are“designed-in” to the services, allowing developers to bypass the complexity of data manipulation logic to each individual head. Data normalization Sylentrix normalizes data in real time using its proprietary DataOps. However, this model is flexible enough to work with unstructured and transformed structured data. Data, Content & Services Sylentrix deploys services and moves content, product, order, intent, location, shipping, and other relevant data data to multiple heads, endpoints, and channels through GraphQL and REST API. Modular architecture Sylentrix modular architecture allows developers to assemble best in-class commerce solutions and only what’s needed. Modularity is essential for the design of scalable and flexible fit-for-purpose services. This allows developers to assemble best-in-class commerce architectures and only what’s needed. Sylentrix's open architecture is modular and designed to integrate easily with other tools. Sylentrix defines services as modular units that implement specific business functionality (PBC). These PBCs are the reusable building blocks for applications or solutions and can be considered as aggregations of microservices. Microservices are the way Sylentrix designs, builds and deploys modular applications, organised into well-defined services. PBCs are the way Sylentrix brings applications to market and how they are used by users. Focusing on a single functionality, Sylentrix's modular services can be easily reused in various contexts and can also be used as building blocks to meet new requirements. In addition, the modularity in the services prevents the propagation of changes to other services and therefore simplifies their maintenance. By combining modularity, low code and composability in the design of applications and services, Sylentrix raises the level of abstraction to create functionally recognisable as such by a business user, and reusable in the design of custom assembled products, applications and services. API Sylentrix incorporates API integration and event driven architectures into the data and service lifecycle. ELT /ETL The built-in tools for ELT/ETL and change data capture (CDC) make it easy to integrate batch or streaming data. Event driven The loose coupling of events enables systems to scale and update independently. This is how Sylentrix delivers flexibility and agility. API Gateway The Sylentrix API gateway provides a cohesive abstraction across all of the services in the Sylentrix application architecture – as a whole, while solving some of the edge/boundary problems on behalf of specific APIs. Service Mesh The Sylentrix service mesh infrastructure components allow the microservices to communicate by connecting the internal elements of applications and dictating how they can interact with one another. Data flow & orchestration Sylentrix connects data and content across the entire network and ecosystem, combining it, and preparing it for consumption. Event-driven by design Sylentrix leverages events as a core principle. An event is something that happened and generated a notification of some kind. Examples include an abandoned credit card detected or an placed order by a customer. The event is known as a change in state and typically triggers other events as part of a business process. The loose coupling of events enables Sylentrix to scale and update independently. This is how Sylentrix delivers flexibility and agility.
