I know that this question was asked before. But I see the responses are quite dated (at least in comparison to the pace we move).
So I am asking same question again.
We are about to start a ground up project to build a multi-tenant platform which will support basic e-commerce (will extend later) and basic CMS for feeding the catalogues. As this is targeted to a huge focus market and expected hit on certain event would go up to 20K (concurrent), we are moving away from platform like magento and thinking about building our own.
As per today's date the only "silver bullet" is node.js (pun intended) - so we plan to use node in backend, html5/KO in front end and still debating between mongoDB and MySQL. In that context, would love to know is there any node.js/html5 based open source eCommerce platform (along with semi sophisticated cms) available today. Even beta or alpha will do so that it gives us a start.
js is the best platform for eCommerce development? So far, Node. js is one of the most powerful platforms that can be used for building eCommerce apps. Many of the top eCommerce platforms are built on Node.
Node. js development has become very popular over the last four years and continues to stand the competition in 2022 making startups worldwide choose it over other available options.
The short answer is “NO.” The long answer is, “NO, it's not dead, and it probably will never die.” Node. js is just as relevant to coding in 2021 and beyond, even if the hype around it has stabilized slightly.
In a nutshell, headless commerce is an eCommerce solution that stores, manages, and delivers content without a front-end delivery layer. With a headless eCommerce platform, the front end (or the “head”) — which in most cases is a template or theme — has been decoupled and removed, leaving only the backend.
Reaction is a eCommerce platform developed with Meteor, which uses Node.JS for the backend. It's under heavy development by Ongo Works right now.
