Digital commerce has changed, and there is an increasing demand for faster and kite efficient solutions. More technologies are arising, more online stores are erupting, and customers make purchases on more devices. In this talk, Bolaji will introduce you to the challenges with traditional commerce, how headless commerce solves those challenges, and how Commerce Layer supercharges your digital experiences.

Bolaji is a Software Engineer, Content Creator, and Community Engineer who currently works as a Developer Advocate at Commerce Layer. He's passionate about sharing knowledge, documentation, web engineering, Jamstack, headless commerce, communities and FOSS

Headless Commerce done right, with Commerce Layer

How do we reconcile the differences between the needs of our developers and those of our content creation teams? Have you ever run into an editorial team who just doesn’t want to get their hands dirty with Git? There’s plenty of them. Strapi’s fantastic for giving them an interface to organize content to be consumed by frontends, but many of their needs work directly against Git-centric development workflows (aka GitOps) we see today. In this talk, we’ll cover how Strapi can be deployed alongside a frontend consuming application on a single project on Platform.sh. From there, we’ll slowly piece together two parallel workflows for teams with very different needs in mind: - Editorial: don’t touch Git. Live content previews. Runtime collection creation that moves to master. - Development: Git as the source of truth, repeatable builds, isolated environments, Infrastructure-as-code.

Chad Carlson is a DevRel Engineer at Platform.sh, and during that time he has worked with Strapi quite a bit during his time documenting Node.js support and decoupled websites. He's interested in when decoupling is the right choice for teams (and when), and if he's not teaching himself a new programming language he can usually be found writing or cooking something or other.

Editorial workflows, GIT them here!

Headless Commerce APIs give you the same flexibility and scalability as you can expect from a Headless CMS. Where e-commerce platforms are designed to work with product data and checkout systems, the latter is best suited to manage rich web content for the rest of your website. To keep this separation of concern, you combine these two headless architectures! In this talk I'll show how to use the headless Saleor Commerce and enrich that data by combining it with Strapi CMS.

Roy Derks is a serial startup CTO, developer, author and conference speaker from Amsterdam. He has founded multiple e-commerce and marketplace startups in the past, and is now working with Saleor as an ambassador.

There’s a general misconception that since Jamstack sites and applications don't rely on traditional server architectures, they come at the cost of dynamic, powerful experiences. The reality is, Jamstack sites are great for creating highly dynamic, interactions using powerful tools like serverless functions and a variety of third-party services. In this session, we'll look at how a Jamstack architecture, with serverless functions and Strapi CMS, help developers deliver scale, performance, and a rich content authoring experience, without the burden of servers or infrastructure to maintain"
