Leveraging open-source assets to develop commerce experiences

Modern agile organizations are all about rapid iteration to move as fast as possible. To do this, developers need to have the freedom to experiment with technologies and frameworks to select the most appropriate one for a specific situation. This is especially important in the context of headless microservices-based platforms such as Elastic Path Commerce Cloud since one of the key benefits it provides is the superior technical agility for developers to solve business with any technology, framework, or library. To give the developers this flexibility and deliver holistic developer experience, Elastic Path maintains a public repository with different assets and SDKs.
