The Next Evolution of Magento? Full Walkthrough of Adobe Commerce as a Service

Adobe Commerce as a Service: Full Demo and Walkthrough of the New Environment Adobe Commerce as a Service is Adobe’s next-generation approach to enterprise eCommerce—reimagining the Magento 2 architecture as a SaaS model. It introduces a major shift in how merchants build and manage their Adobe Commerce storefronts. In this video, Joseph Maxwell from SwiftOtter walks through the actual environment, showing how the new system works and what’s changing under the hood. You’ll see a live demo of the frontend experience, explore the SaaS-based admin panel, and get a first look at the Composable Catalog Data Model (CCDM)—a new way to handle product data that decouples Adobe Commerce from the catalog layer and leans on your ERP as the source of truth. You’ll see how Adobe Commerce as a Service builds on Magento 2’s familiar interface while introducing key changes: a fully headless frontend via Adobe Commerce Optimizer, tight ERP integration, and SaaS-level performance and scalability. We’ll also explore Edge Delivery Services for content management, and how the new policies and channels system changes the way product data is handled across stores and locations. If you’re evaluating a move to SaaS within the Adobe Commerce ecosystem (or you’re trying to understand how this model compares to traditional Magento 2), this video is for you.
