Evolve is a complete, composable architecture that is built to be the future-proof foundation for your composable commerce platform. It is suitable for middle-sized to large B2C & B2B retailers, that want to develop a modern, composable eCommerce architecture. It enables them to take a huge leap forward to continuous innovation. The experience is like having your very own platform team from day 1.
Evolve was built from the ground up based on 10 years of experience with building a wide range of composable commerce use cases. It is deliberately not a ‘copy’ of an existing project but rather a well-architected set of standards and best practices, which allow you to deploy in weeks rather than months or years, but more importantly, have a solid MACH foundation to build on.
Out of the box Evolve provides:
A highly performant B2C and B2B storefront in Next.js and React, based on an extensive Storybook and Figma based UI design system
A middleware layer for SaaS integration, powered by GraphQL Federation
Dozens of pre-built integrations with many of the MACH alliance members and other Saas vendors
Pre-built extensions to the commercetools merchant center
Infrastructure-as-code deployment with Terraform through MACH composer
Immediate adherence to modern standards of observabilitythrough OpenTelemetry
A battle-hardened developer experience and fully automated delivery pipelines
A docker based, cloud native, highly secure and high-performance infrastructure for AWS, GCP, Azure and even on-premises if you want.
A key aspect of Evolve is that it features a GraphQL Federated architecture that powers the middleware. This makes the architecture particularly future proof: by providing a complete API, as well as composability at the API level, you can integrate any SaaS you want, as long as it has an API.
Increases speed of innovation
90% of the composable architecture decisions are incorporated in the accelerator, which means that teams can focus on business value rather than plumbing. We’ve seen projects go live in as little as 2 months, and new markets released in weeks. Even after release we estimate Evolve will make your dev team 50% more effective, through built-in premium functionalities & scaling mechanisms.
Reduces risk
Evolve already powers over 40 websites in production. Through our projects we’ve seen pretty much everything (we do have battle scars) and our best practices are incorporated in Evolve. The result of this is that from the start, projects built with Evolve will be secure, high performance, reliable and highly productive for developers to work with.
Great developer experience
The platform evolves with you through a well architected foundation for a complete composable commerce platform. It enables observability, a deployment pipeline, a unit testing framework, a robust data model and MACH vendor integration services from day 1. This means your team will love it, since they can get started within the hour and extend it to their wishes through modern, open standards and platforms.
