SPA for eCommerce solution

[cqbeginner]

Hi,

What is the recommended approach to integration with generic eCommerce back end? Is it advisable to use SPA component to fetch product data from presentation layer (after login) or use AEM eCommerce framework to pull data from commerce back end?

Please share your thoughts.

Thanks.

Thanks for your reply. I read that article already. The question i have is,

If you pull the product data from PIM to AEM, the repository might grow exponentially. How are you managing that?

If you use client side rendering (SPA) to fetch the product data in real-time. Will we get into performance issues and difficult for personalisation?

Pulling the data from the PIM into AEM might be advisable some time, but in other scenarios it's the absolute wrong way to do. If you use the SPA approach and fetch product information directly from the PIM, you can run into performance issues. That depends on the performance and scalability of your PIM.
