Elastic Path Self-Managed Commerce
A headless commerce platform you deploy into your own infrastructure, with full access to the source code. Your data stays in your environment. Your team decides when to upgrade and how to scale.

Your security team can audit it. Your engineers extend it at any layer — core, Cortex, or admin. And when your business needs something different, you can build it yourself, on your own timeline.
Deployed single-tenant into your own cloud or on-premise. Commerce data and processing never transit infrastructure you don't control — which is what makes this viable under residency law, sovereign-cloud mandates, and security regimes that rule out vendor-hosted commerce.
Upgrade on a date your team picks. Scale up ahead of a launch you know is coming, scale down when it's over, and tune the JVM, database, cache, and cluster topology to your own SLAs.
All three give you the full source code and a single-tenant environment. Choose the operating model that fits your team.
Your data centre, your hardware, your operations team. Maximum control, including physical control.
Deployed single-tenant into your cloud account. You own the infrastructure; we ship the platform and the DevOps tooling.
Single-tenant on AWS, operated by our team. You still hold the source code and still control your own deployments.
Production support and operations coverage for the AWS environment.
Application, infrastructure, and database monitoring, alerting, and patching.
Database administration, backup, and recovery services.
Certified. Encryption at rest and TLS in transit throughout.
Fortune 500 commerce programs run their highest-stakes events on this platform — the launch days, deadline windows, and limited drops where a failure is most expensive.
Flagship smartphone launches, where traffic spikes 10x in minutes.
Cars drop twice a day, with 50 to 100 dealers chasing the same registration at once.
High-demand collectible drops absorbing heavy scripted and bot traffic without degrading checkout.
We keep the platform's dependencies current and patch published vulnerabilities. You choose when to apply them.
Certified on Azul Zulu OpenJDK 21 with Tomcat 10.1 — the Jakarta EE 10 line.
Major library dependencies are upgraded on a regular release cadence, not left to age.
The platform is scanned every day for vulnerable libraries across the dependency tree.
Patches ship to you; you apply them on your own schedule, never mid-peak.
Six areas, each linking straight into the documentation.
Java Commerce Engine, Cortex hypermedia API, self-hosted topology.
Master and virtual catalogs, bundles, associations.
Price list stack, rules-based promotions, coupons.
Checkout, order holds, returns, nested account hierarchies.
Solr search, dynamic content, tagging framework.
Extension Point Framework, integration server, business tooling.
Residency law, sovereignty mandates, or security policy require commerce data inside your own perimeter.
For security audit, for extension at any layer, and for a genuine exit path your legal team can point to.
Queue and sync through connection drops, cache catalog and pricing locally, and run regional instances that reconcile centrally.
An engineering organization that would rather hold the keys than file a ticket.
