Adobe Commerce as a Cloud Service: A Deep Dive into the Future of Commerce

We’ll begin with a few slides to explain the theoretical foundation and ensure a solid understanding of the overall concept.

This includes an overview of the architecture of ACCS, Storefront (with drop-ins & slots), EDS, and App Builder. Also, we…

• We’ll also give a comparative view of Traditional CIF vs. Cloud-based Commerce Integration.
• We’ll show how GenAI can support content creation and explain how A/B testing is integrated into the process.
• We’ll highlight the difference between Product Visuals and Adobe Experience Manager Assets.

In addition, we’ll dive into the following technical topics, our main part, supported by code examples from our project:

• How authors can modify storefront content using Document Authoring (da.live).
• How developers can work with the AIO CLI and Adobe Developer Console.
• How to extend the Storefront using JavaScript, blocks and drop-in slots.
• How to connect an external, product-specific data source, including:
  • Extending GraphQL queries using Mesh Extensibility.
  • Demonstrating GraphQL calls in Postman.
• How to trigger Runtime Actions (App Builder) using events from Commerce.
• How to (and why) set up synchronous webhooks.

Finally, we’ll share our lessons learned and best practices from hands-on R&D throughout the project.
