commercetools benefits

Freedom to experiment

Freedom to experiment

Building an Alexa skill or a fast and shiny Progressive Web App (PWA)? You can experiment without the risk to jeopardize the whole ecosystem.

Speed and Agility

Speed and Agility

Development becomes much more efficient because teams can work in parallel. Due to its decoupled nature, changes can be made to the UI, without having to test all the core logic in the backend.

Scaling

Scaling

Typically, frontend and backend can be individually scaled. Even if the frontend receives a lot of traffic, this does not affect the backend as such, because they are only loosely coupled.

Easily add new touchpoints

Easily add new touchpoints

In a headless scenario, multiple frontends connect to one API and one underlying system. In other words, if you want to add new touchpoints, you do not have to worry about maintaining a software “zoo.”

Benefits for your development team


The best developers have the choice of workplaces and, thus, by choosing modern, composable technology, you attract the most talented people to your team. 

Experienced developers love commercetools because it moves away from a monolithic core that is difficult to maintain. It is a stable and truly API-first system that lets tech teams build in whichever language they prefer. It offers total auto-scalability in the cloud and supports serverless builds, so developers can focus on business logic instead of setup and maintenance.

However, perhaps the most compelling feature is that the core is consistently protected, meaning that there is no need to worry modules that often have a destructive influence and destabilize the platform.

    "Working with commercetools as a dev is really great experience. Given that the core value is the well-structured, extensible, and self-documented GraphQL API, supported by a REST API as a base, it's definitely a great tool to build your eCommerce with. The MACH architecture means it is API first, and the headless approach is the cherry on top. Because the main focus on delivering bare data, it's easier to make your eCommerce attractive to the customers and the designer's imagination is the limit!"
