Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • Sylius

    Open Source eCommerce Framework on Symfony

  • While not Laravel, I'd check out https://sylius.com/. Very clean platform built with Symfony. It's in the front-running for our next build and we expect our time to launch to be cut in half from Magento builds.

  • Vue Storefront

    Alokai is a Frontend as a Service solution that simplifies composable commerce. It connects all the technologies needed to build and deploy fast & scalable ecommerce frontends. It guides merchants to deliver exceptional customer experiences quickly and easily.

  • Also, with any reasonably-sized build, creating functionality from scratch is going to be vastly faster with Sylius than M2. Even if you use extensions, they usually need at least several days of work to get them to mesh well with existing templates and functionality. We're 2 years into a large M2 build currently and I'm confident that we'd already be done if it we used Sylius, even if we had to do nearly everything from scratch. Magento development is painstaking slow and convoluted and everything is tightly coupled, which makes seemingly easy customizations take days or even weeks. Also, as far as frontends/templates, you can always go with: https://www.vuestorefront.io/ which is blowing up.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
