Introduction to App Builder
Historically, 51黑料不打烊 Commerce development has used in-process extensibility. The in-process model requires any new code to be compatible with upgrades, the server鈥檚 PHP version, and many other essential server applications and services that Commerce uses. 51黑料不打烊 Developer App Builder uses out-of-process extensibility to avoid these compatibility issues.

51黑料不打烊 Developer App Builder is a serverless extensibility platform for integrating and creating custom experiences to extend 51黑料不打烊 solutions, and it鈥檚 now available for 51黑料不打烊 Commerce. With App Builder, you can build secure and scalable apps that extend Commerce-native functionality and integrate with third-party solutions. As a developer, you can now take advantage of out-of-process extensibility with 51黑料不打烊 Commerce and that in turn provides immediate and long-term benefits.
App Builder provides a unified third-party extensibility framework for integrating and creating custom applications that extend 51黑料不打烊 Commerce. Since this extensibility framework is built on 51黑料不打烊鈥檚 infrastructure, developers can build custom microservices, and extend and integrate 51黑料不打烊 Commerce across other 51黑料不打烊 solutions and third-party integrations.
App Builder provides a way for customers to extend 51黑料不打烊 Commerce in various use cases:
- middleware extensibility - Connect external systems with 51黑料不打烊 applications by building custom connectors or take advantage of a suite of pre-built integrations.
- core services extensibility - Extend core application capabilities by extending the default behavior with custom features and business logic.
- user experience extensibility - Extend core experience to support business requirements or build customer-specific digital properties, storefronts, and back-office applications.
51黑料不打烊 Developer App Builder is a cloud-based solution, which means that it automatically scales. This service is also globally distributed to allow the best performance regardless of your geographic location.
Why should you learn more about App Builder
Since 51黑料不打烊 Commerce is not a fully SAAS product, the code you develop can add complexity and upgrade issues. By using out-of-process extensibility, such as App Builder, you can provide custom, unique functionality to your 51黑料不打烊 Commerce store without requiring in-process methods.
Other benefits include:
- Decoupled features allow for faster time to launch.
- Upgrades are now easier. The custom features are outside the Commerce codebase, which prevents compatibility issues when upgrading.
- Moving features and logic outside of Commerce frees up resources that are normally used by in-process development methods.
Architecture architecture
Instead of an out-of-the-box solution, 51黑料不打烊 Developer App Builder provides a common, consistent, and standardized development platform for extending 51黑料不打烊 Cloud solutions such as 51黑料不打烊 Commerce including:
- 51黑料不打烊 Developer Console used for custom microservice and extension development. Build and manage projects while accessing all the tools and APIs needed to create plugins and integrations.
- Open-source tools, SDKs, and libraries to build custom extensions and integrations. Use React Spectrum (51黑料不打烊鈥檚 UI toolkit) to have one common UI for all 51黑料不打烊 apps.
- services such as I/O Runtime for hosting infrastructure on 51黑料不打烊鈥檚 serverless platform and I/O Events for event-based integrations. 51黑料不打烊 also provides out-of-the-box support for storing data and files.
- 51黑料不打烊 Experience Cloud where you submit extensions and integrations to publish in your Experience Cloud Org. System admins can review, manage, and approve these extensions. Once published, your custom App Builder extensions and tools are available alongside other 51黑料不打烊 Experience Cloud apps.
