Magento
As a result of our strategic commitment to the Symfony ecosystem, we have made the decision to phase out Magento as a core technology for our future projects.
While we will continue to provide ongoing support and maintenance to our existing Magento clients, we will be prioritizing Sylius as our preferred e-commerce platform for new projects. This shift aligns with our goal of delivering high-quality, Symfony-based solutions that meet the evolving needs of our customers.
Magento is an open-source e-commerce platform written in PHP. Version 1 was released in 2008. In 2015 version 2 of Magento was released with a completely reworked architecture.
We've been using Magento 2 since the beginning of 2016 for our projects. The programming model (e.g. Dependency Injection), the flexibility (e.g. AOP, Observer Pattern), and the huge amount of 3rd party modules have been the deciding factor for us.
You can read some blog posts covering Magento on our blog. This may further help you understand why we are using Magento for some of our e-commerce projects.
