ecommerce evolution leads to something like moltin
In several projects I could watch the evolution of ecommerce platforms in a way like that:
- start by using a shop system like magento or shopware
- using and extending the api
- integrate third party apis
- integrate rich clients and non-web fromtends like apps
- thinking about rafactoring
- creating an ecommerce api layer with the goal of a service architecture and finally a baas system
So, that’s what the guys at moltin realised as well - so they deliver the important essentials for ecommerce solutions: api based core funtionality and a default management backend. No one likes to have more than that.
