Founded in 2004, Rapha exists to inspire the world to live life by bike. We believe that cycling has the power to improve people’s lives but as well as enjoying it for what it is today, we are determined to change cycling and open it up to more people so that they too can discover the joys of riding a bike.

Rapha is undergoing a digital transformation of its core technology platforms, including its e-commerce engine. The transition will take us from a legacy monolith enterprise application to a best-in-class composable commerce approach. Off the shelf SaaS solutions will be connected to our bespoke front-end application, connected with serverless computing infrastructure.

This system will serve millions of visitors to our website from around the globe, with the aim of providing a fast, seamless shopping and browsing experience.
