Spree Commerce Ecosystem Roadmap for 2021/2022

July 29, 2021

On July 24th, 2021, we unveiled the future of the Spree Commerce ecosystem by sharing our vision and the development roadmap for 2021/2022 at our online community event, SpreeConf. We see a headless and omnichannel future ahead, so we want Spree to empower all ecommerce developers with a single, headless Spree Commerce backend. Below you’ll find a brief overview of the Spree roadmap and a link to the video of the talk given by Damian Legawiec and Matthew Kennedy – the Spree tech lead and a Spree open-source developer, respectively.

Spree Commerce hosting: Heroku or AWS?

January 27, 2021

Spree Commerce is a free, open-source ecommerce solution that allows you to build an online store or a marketplace exactly the way you want it in every respect. There is no license cost of transaction fees with Spree. Unlike Shopify, which is a Software-as-a-Service offering, Spree is free of many SaaS limitations: it’s easily customizable and scalable. But it is also self-owned and self-hosted. That means you need to download its code and deploy it to a hosting provider of your choice. You need to host it yourself.  Here’s a rundown of the most common PaaS and IaaS hosting options: Heroku or AWS.
