Best practices on the Luma frontend for third party Magento extensions?
November 1, 2022
For years, the theme that most people considered when it came to Magento frontending was Luma. Nowadays, the landscape is different, with many projects having a frontend in Hyvä, PWA Studio or Vue Storefront (or others). How much of the old "best practices" would therefore still stand with Magento third party modules?
Adobe hires everyone
October 19, 2022
Magento (aka Adobe Commerce) is on the move. Ever since Adobe acquired Magento and slowly started to integrate Magento into its own cloud, people left Magento and people started working for Magento. But can we read something between the lines?
No APSB22-48 patches for Magento 2.3
October 13, 2022
A serious Magento vulnerability has come to the light. Adobe labeled it with security issue APSB22-48. And yesterday, October 12th, new patch releases came out for 2.4.5 (being 2.4.5-p1) and 2.4.4 (being 2.4.4-p2). But what about 2.4.3 and older? What about Magento 2.3? Are we screwed?

When I slowly got to understand to GraphQL, it made me enthousiastic: The graph allow not only for headless frontending but also for connecting backend services (as long as they support GraphQL). But then gRPC popped up on the radar. Is it there to replace GraphQL? And what does that tell about the future architecture of Magento?
Give me some Slack
September 26, 2022
There was a time I could open up one or two Slack spaces and consume the news. But long gone are those days. There are dozens (?) of chat spaces to keep track of. And it seems a sign of the fragmentation of the Magento community.
The other frontends of Magento
September 17, 2022
When dealing with Magento frontending, in the past we always found this to equal the Luma stack. Nowadays however, alternative frontends like Hyvä, Adobe PWA Studio and VueStorefront are mentioned more than Luma. But the story doesn't end there. There are various other alternative frontends to consider as well.

September 8, 2022
A new PWA is in town: GraphCommerce. It is based on React, TypeScript and NextJS, open source and using the GraphQL Mesh. It offers plenty of features, but it might not be for the React novice. Here is a review of what I like, dislike and foresee.
