Introduction

The story behind entrepreneur Jamie Maria Schouren. What is it like to be a woman in the tech industry? How did she, as an app developer, manage to establish an internationally oriented business, serving customers from all over the world? How was she able to raise 2.5 million euros enabling further business growth? And why does she think Headless Architecture is the future of eCommerce?

Deity not solely offers a fully hosted Front-End platform, we also provide customers with the power to extend their platform only where needed by using our top-performing Middleware. This way, Deity ensures that merchants can keep their current eCommerce platform or CMS and build whatever they need on top of that. No risks and no disinvestment.

The Composable architecture already paid off, we've already made changes to some of the internal microservices and didn’t have to push the release out to any of the frontend components or change anything in the code base. It really builds confidence and solves the problems we had in the past, which is amazing!
