For major e-commerce websites, backend performance directly impacts revenue. When database queries take hundreds of milliseconds and page builds take twice that, customers leave and sales are lost.
Groundbreaking Web Performance
Leading retailers are solving this latency challenge by eliminating the traditional separation between database, cache, and application interfaces. This approach reduces average server latency for product pages to one millisecond — even at enterprise scale.
Average p95 server latency across early hint and redirect use cases.

26x faster time to largest contentful paint (LCP), going from 4.67 seconds to 0.18 seconds.
Engineered for Superior Performance
Traditional E-commerce Architectures are Complex
A patchwork of components creates bottlenecks, operational complexity, and latency challenges between databases, caching systems, and application servers, reducing your website's conversion rate while driving up costs.
Problems:
- Each system adds latency and requires specialized expertise. - Network hops, serialization, and caching delays compound as systems are distributed. - Infrastructure complexity increases as demand grows.
Harper Ensures Simplicity at Scale
Harper combines database, cache, messaging, and application systems into a single binary.
Benefits:
- Most queries can be completed in under one millisecond. - No network hops between services. - Fewer systems processes behind each request. - Easily scales to billions of records and trillions of requests.
Accelerating Page Loads with Full-Page Caching
Traditional CDNs cache static content, but dynamic data still requires expensive round trips to origin databases. Harper distributes your applications and dynamic data across a globally deployed cluster of service nodes.
Why It Works:
- Most responses are served directly from RAM - No external drivers or services are required. - Highly configurable replication for resilience and flexibility
