Foundations of Adobe Commerce Technology

E-commerce architecture requires a robust understanding of how databases, APIs, and caching layers interact to deliver high-performance shopping experiences. This text-based course guides you through the foundational technology concepts that power Adobe Commerce, giving you the technical vocabulary and structural knowledge needed to work effectively with the platform. By reading through our comprehensive explanations and structured technical breakdowns, you will transition from a general understanding of e-commerce to a clear comprehension of how enterprise-grade commerce platforms operate behind the scenes. You will explore database patterns, modular code structures, and modern integration strategies. What you'll learn: 1. Understand the core architectural components and file structure of Adobe Commerce. 2. Explore database patterns, including the Entity-Attribute-Value (EAV) model. 3. Learn how modular architecture enables customization and scalability. 4. Discover modern headless commerce workflows using GraphQL and REST APIs. 5. Practice designing integration strategies for external ERP and CRM systems. 6. Configure performance optimization techniques, including caching and indexing.
