Two backend options now available for partner developers: Core and Lambda

Core

In the Core environment, developers work directly within AI Commerce Cloud’s core architecture. This option requires a deeper understanding of the system’s inner workings and may include more restrictions. However, it also provides direct access to all core features and functionalities.

Lambda

Lambda is a serverless development environment that allows partners to create their own logic and extensions for AI Commerce Cloud without modifying the core backend code.

• Flexibility: Partners can add new functionalities such as webhook endpoints or completely new routes.

• Override capabilities: Lambda allows native AI Commerce Cloud functionalities, such as search and filtering, to be overridden and routed directly to a custom Lambda endpoint.

• Scalability: Lambda functions scale automatically to handle high traffic volumes without overloading the core implementation.

Partners are encouraged to choose Lambda if they want a more flexible and easier-to-manage environment, especially for large-scale projects such as ERP integrations.

Both options offer distinct benefits, and the choice depends on the project requirements and developer preferences.
