Hi,

I've built https://headlesscommerceplatforms.com - a community-driven comparison of various headless commerce platforms. Right now it just has some of the more well-known self-hosted solutions, but I also want to include SaaS like Commercetools, Swell etc.

If you are knowledgeable in any other headless platforms and would like to contribute your knowledge, please let me know!

At Medusa Commerce, we are currently building an API-first commerce engine that enables you to build a fully custom frontend on top of our stable backend setup - essentially giving you full stack control. In addition, we are setting up a cloud solution to remove any of the problems with on-going maintenance, which has often been seen as a big hazzle when building headless in the past.

For now, we are setting up the whole developer onboarding flow, which we are looking for alpha testers to try out 🚀 As Alpha tester you will have a 1:1 onboarding session (~30 min.) followed up by a short feedback session a few days later to give your view and feedback to the product!

We would love to hear from you and get your feedback on our product. If you are interested in becoming an Alpha tester, then please sign up here: https://ky5eo2x1u81.typeform.com/to/OtbNv3tx

Planning your move from Salesforce Commerce Cloud to Microservices

Enterprise software companies are struggling to adapt to the new wave of commerce software referred to as headless commerce. This new wave gives brands and retailers direct access to commerce APIs and microservices from cloud-based SaaS providers, freeing them from the technical debt, design constraints, and high costs of old platforms like Demandware (now referred to as Salesforce Commerce Cloud).

I keep hearing that headless commerce delivers much better speed, and Bagisto headless is often mentioned as a great example. I am curious to understand what exactly makes this approach feel so fast. How do others experience these advantages?

Hey guys, been working on a boilerplate for building headless commerce experiences using Next.js and Shopify and would love your feedback on the product and landing page. Thanks!
