Magento Architecture

Project Board | GitHub | Slack

  • Architecture team increased transparency with the Community posting design documents and holding discussions in Slack.
  • We added a new repository with design documents open to the public:https://github.com/magento/architecture. Feel free to join the discussion in the PRs. We want to clarify why design and architecture decisions are made as you see them through the process and in the final implementation. We also want the community to participate in the discussion before the implementation is complete.
  • We created a new public Slack channel#appdesign for application design discussions.
