Our Tech Stack

Frontend

We are proud to be some of the early adopters of React to build all of our Frontend applications. All data needed for our applications are fetched via GraphQL and Apollo. We use both our public commercetools APIs as well as internal GraphQL APIs maintained by our teams for session management, proxying requests, and storing user settings. The building blocks of our internal APIs are Prisma, Apollo Server, and Express. We use React Testing Library and Cypress mostly to test our new and existing features.

We deploy all our applications and services into multiple Kubernetes clusters, and recently added the idea of an automatic deployment train.

Backend

Our product’s high-performing backend is written in functional Scala and has Event Sourcing as its core. This allows us to add new components, react to events, and use data in the most relevant ways. On the client-facing side, we present the best APIs, embracing CQRS and GraphQL to allow our customers to work in the most intuitive, flexible and modern ways possible.

Infrastructure

Our product is multi-cloud: commercetools runs on Google Cloud Platform and AWS in multiple regions across the world. All services are running on various Kubernetes clusters with the help of toolings from CNCF landscape: Prometheus, Envoy (within Istio), Helm, and Fluentd. tools include Terraform, Packer as well as Vault from HashiCorp and our code repositories are maintained on GitHub. We run our CI/CD jobs on Google Cloud Builder. For in-house automation, we use Python and Golang.
