Adobe is also extending the platform by adding new features like dashboards for keeping an eye on a company’s e-commerce strategy and integration with the Amazon marketplace.

Magento changes the service to report security issues: Magento used Bugcrowd before, and now it switches to Hacker One, used by Adobe.
Magento’s updates
Microservices
Microservices introduce a revolutionary approach to apps: they are no longer a monolithic structure, but a complex system composed of small particles and independent processes which communicate with each other via language-agnostic APIs.
The potential of microservices is huge.This leads to a modular approach to building the system and entails improvements:
- increase the speed of the development process;
- the ability to update the application in parts;
- a small error in one of the modules will not lead to failure, as it happens with monolithic applications.

This version includes:
