The January 2023 Feature Release is here!

Check out our new API extensibility and Adobe I/O updates.

Adobe Commerce is excited to announce our January Feature release, including powerful new composable commerce capabilities, along with other valuable product updates and announcements. Check out our Adobe Release Blog for more information.

Adobe Makes Composable Easier

Adobe is introducing powerful new extensibility and integration capabilities for Adobe Commerce that simplify building and maintaining composable commerce applications.

  • Adobe Developer App Builder - A cloud native extensibility platform that works with multiple Adobe solutions and is now available for Adobe Commerce.
  • API Mesh - An API orchestration layer that combines API from Adobe and third-party services into a single graph making it simple to introduce services into your composable commerce application.
  • Adobe I/O Events - Simplified capture of Commerce events and data that can be consumed in App Builder apps or used to call webhooks.

Together, these new capabilities drastically reduce the time to deploy new features while reducing the cost to maintain and upgrade your commerce application. Customers can easily add, upgrade, and replace third-party services to combine best-of-breed solutions with the Adobe Commerce platform. App Builder also takes care of provisioning all the resources required for building and hosting composable apps so developers can focus on solving business problems. These services are available to all Adobe Commerce customers and an allocation of App Builder capacity is included at no additional cost for cloud customers.

Other Adobe Commerce Feature Updates

In addition to introducing new capabilities that empower customers to build composable applications, Adobe is introducing enhancements to existing capabilities. Highlights include:

  • Easier access to Catalog Service by integrating it with API Mesh and introducing simplified onboarding.
  • Deeper insight into your checkout experience with comprehensive reporting for Quick Checkout.
  • Improved search results that consider inventory status when using Live Search.
  • More reliable performance and cost management with horizontal auto scaling for all scaled architecture cloud customers.
  • Improved personalization capabilities with a beta release of the Adobe Experience Platform connector for Adobe Commerce. Customers can now share order status data such as Order Placed, Shipped, Refunded or Cancelled. Contact Daniel Rios if you would like to participate in this beta.
