Magento Open Source Development
Full control of the code, none of the Adobe Commerce license.
Start a projectMagento Open Source is a real platform decision, not a bargain-bin version of Adobe Commerce. Community Magento covers a lot of mid-market catalogs well — no license fee, full code access, a large ecosystem of extensions — and the tradeoff is that more of the operational burden sits with you: patching, performance tuning, hosting. The problem shows up later, not on launch day. A store built on Open Source without a disciplined upgrade and hosting plan degrades quietly until a security scare or a slow page speed forces the issue into the open.
We build and run Open Source stores the way we’d want to inherit one: custom modules kept in their own namespace, a patch cadence that doesn’t wait for a crisis, and hosting tuned for the catalog rather than a generic stack. If your catalog and budget genuinely call for Adobe Commerce’s licensed feature set instead, we’ll say that up front, before you pay for something you don’t need.
Built and run, end to end.
Custom module development
Every custom module we write lives in its own namespace, coded to survive a core upgrade instead of fighting it on the next release. When an existing extension already does the job well, we use it — custom code is reserved for logic your store actually needs.
Upgrade and patch cadence
Open Source ships security patches on a regular release schedule, and falling behind is how stores end up exposed. We keep a patch cadence, plan version upgrades before they're forced, and test each one against your real extension set first, not a clean sandbox that hides the actual conflicts.
Performance tuning across cache and indexers
Varnish, Redis, and Magento's own indexers all need configuration matched to your catalog size, not left on defaults. We tune full-page cache and indexer mode so pages stay fast as catalog and traffic grow, instead of slowing the way an unconfigured install eventually does.
Hosting and security posture
Open Source puts hosting and security squarely in your court — there's no Adobe-managed cloud underneath it. We size hosting to the catalog, keep patches and admin access current, and monitor uptime so a problem surfaces before a customer finds it first.
Questions, answered.
Should we use Magento Open Source or Adobe Commerce?
The honest split: Open Source covers most mid-market catalogs without a license fee. Adobe Commerce earns its cost when a catalog needs the built-in B2B suite, richer merchandising tools, or a vendor support line behind the platform. We size your actual catalog and roadmap against that tradeoff rather than push the upsell by default.
How often do we need to upgrade, and what does that cost?
Magento releases security patches on a regular cycle, and falling behind is how a store ends up running an unsupported, exposed version. We budget upgrades as a recurring, planned line item rather than a surprise project, and test each release against your specific extensions before it touches the live store.
Can Open Source handle a large or complex catalog?
Yes — the underlying platform doesn't change between editions, so catalog depth, configurable products, and layered navigation all work the same way. What Open Source leaves out is Adobe's native B2B and merchandising layer; if a project specifically needs those, that's the Adobe Commerce conversation instead.
Do you support the store after it launches?
Yes, and that's most of the value. Open Source has no vendor support line to call when something breaks, so we stay on as the team that patches, upgrades, and troubleshoots after go-live — the engineers who built it, not a help desk reading from a ticket queue.
