Capabilities

Magento capabilities

Headless frontend (PWA / custom)GraphQL / REST APIMagento core (catalog, cart, orders) without forkingLive Search + Adobe Sensei recommendationsBusiness-logic microservices (alongside the core)Integrations: PIM, ERP, payments, OMSB2B module: company accounts, shared catalogs, quotasCIS Contour: 1C (UT/ERP), Ozon/WB/Yandex Market, SAP

Data flows from the headless frontend through the GraphQL API to the Magento core and surrounding microservices. The core is not modified: business logic, AI search, recommendations, and integrations are moved into separate services connected via API. This delivers storefront speed, catalog scale, and solution portability.

Headless storefront on GraphQL API

Load speed and Core Web Vitals improve and conversion rises — the frontend evolves independently of the backend.

Catalog with hundreds of thousands of SKUs

Complex item master, variants and attributes are managed in one place without degrading search and filters.

Live Search AI search and Adobe Sensei recommendations

Relevant results and personalized selections raise average order value without a separate license or your own search clusters.

Composable architecture for the storefront and integrations

Best-in-class modules (payments, search, CMS) are assembled to fit the task; swapping a component does not break the rest.

B2B portal: company accounts, catalogs, quotes

Dealers see their own prices and catalogs, order approval runs online — less manual work for managers.

Scaling for peak

Sales and seasonal spikes are handled without storefront crashes or lost orders.

Minimal core modification

Customization lives in adjacent microservices, not core patches: Magento updates install without rewrites.

Omnichannel and multi-site

Multiple storefronts, languages and currencies on one backend — a unified catalog and orders across all channels.

Managed Magento with a contractual SLA

Support with fixed response windows, security patch installation schedule, target uptime, monitoring and Git workflow. Not 'hours by invoice', but contractual storefront availability — where market usually leaves SLA as lip service.

Securing an orphaned Magento without a vendor

Vulnerability audit, critical security patch backports for Magento Open Source, virtual patching and WAF. Platform stays protected without Adobe updates on EOL versions.

Legacy Installation Takeover and Stabilization

Take over Magento from previous contractor without documentation: code audit, tech debt elimination, reproducible deployment, recovery of failed and incomplete projects — then planned support.

High Load by SRE/DORA

Load testing, caching, database optimization and Core Web Vitals: storefront handles flash sale peaks and seasonal spikes without losing orders.

Core Business Integrations

1C (UT/ERP), marketplaces (Ozon/WB/Yandex Market), PIM (Akeneo/Pimcore), OMS, RF payments and delivery. Magento as part of loosely coupled architecture, not an isolated island.

Bidirectional Migration Without Data Loss

Magento 1→2 migration and transition to Magento or honest migration to Saleor / 1C-Bitrix with catalog, order and SEO transfer. Decision driven by business leverage, not lock-in.

Localization and RF Compliance

100% localization, RF payments and delivery, Law 54-FZ compliance, hosting in CIS infrastructure.

AI in support and merchandising

AI search and recommendations on the storefront, plus AI pipelines for product content enrichment and support incident triage in microservices alongside the core.

Approach

How we implement Magento

Without modifying the core

We do not fork or patch the Magento core. Magento stays on the standard upgradable version, while business logic is moved into separate adjacent microservices, so platform updates do not break your customizations.

International Standards, Not Homegrown Hacks

Where a mature international solution exists, we use it instead of inventing our own protocol or platform. Before writing code, we study how the problem is already solved in the industry.

Transferability

The solution is loosely coupled and documented: it can be handed over between teams and contractors without rewriting. You are not tied to us.

AI compatibility

Magento in the AI stack

Live Search on Adobe Sensei

Built-in AI search analyzes visitor behavior and the catalog, delivering relevant autocomplete suggestions and results without maintaining your own search clusters.

Personal recommendations

Adobe Sensei builds 'customers also bought', 'for you' and 'popular' selections from history and behavior — higher average order value.

GraphQL as a layer for AI agents

A mature GraphQL API (including B2B queries) gives LLM agents and external services structured access to the catalog, cart and orders.

AI content generation and enrichment

Product descriptions and attributes can be generated and normalized by AI pipelines in microservices alongside Magento.

Search and behavior analytics

Dashboards of search queries and zero-result hits feed merchandising models and reveal what to add to the catalog.

Support AI triage

AI pipelines alongside the core classify and route support incidents and customer inquiries, taking routine work off the first line.

Context 2026

What changed in the market

Adobe withdrew from CIS (04.03.2022)

Adobe halted sales and vendor support in CIS; new Adobe Commerce licenses are unavailable (per Adobe's statement, 04.03.2022; temporary renewal of existing licenses through Softline — 21.04.2022). This changes the support model but does not make the platform illegal.

Magento Open Source is legal and thriving

The Magento open-source core continues to evolve through the community and the Mage-OS initiative, so there is no need to abandon a working storefront in haste; it needs proper support.

Security — on the integrator's side

Without vendor updates, critical fixes are applied via backport patches. EOL versions (e.g., 2.4.4/2.4.5) require audit and virtual patching; specific lifecycle dates verified against current Adobe policy.

Market Shifted to Maintenance

Demand shifted from 'build a store' to 'keep existing Magento alive', but most contractors don't publicly detail SLA, patch windows and uptime — we make these contractual.

Market Expertise is Scarce

After vendor exit, Magento engineers in CIS are scarce — making a team with deep portfolio and legacy takeover experience all the more valuable.

New Adobe Commerce Licenses Unavailable

In the sanctions-affected landscape, new Adobe Commerce licenses in CIS are practically unavailable — business value shifts toward Open Source plus strong engineering support.

Honestly

Pros and cons

Pros

The open-source core is legal and actively evolving (Mage-OS), so no Adobe license is needed to operate it.
A deep catalog with hundreds of thousands of SKUs, omnichannel commerce, and multi-site support on one backend.
Native B2B: company accounts, shared catalogs, negotiable quotes, no third-party modules.
Composable/headless: business logic in adjacent microservices, core remains unfork-able — upgrade path preserved.
One of the deepest Magento portfolios in CIS at KT.Team as a safety net for expertise.

Cons

There is no vendor support or new Adobe licensing in CIS, so the platform needs strong engineering stewardship or risk will accumulate.
EOL version security relies on backport patches and virtual patching, not vendor auto-updates.
Magento is heavy to operate: requires SRE practices and budget for peak-load infrastructure.
If catalog is small and team is small — better to weigh switching to Saleor (headless-native) or 1C-Bitrix (RF mass-market); we evaluate both scenarios by business value, not lock-in.
