Demonstrating Adobe Commerce’s enterprise scalability

July 12, 2022 5-MINUTE READ

Overview

The natural question was: Can Adobe Commerce scale for use by large enterprises?

Adobe Commerce, powered by Magento, is a flexible and scalable end-to-end digital commerce platform that enables businesses across industries to manage, personalize, and optimize the e-commerce experience for their business-to-consumer (B2C) and business-to-business (B2B) customers – throughout the entire customer journey and across every touchpoint. Adobe Commerce is a leader in this category of solutions, as reported in the 2021 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Digital Commerce. Given its established strength and wide use among small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), the natural question was: Can Adobe Commerce scale for use by large enterprises?

Testing Adobe Commerce’s capabilities

To do this, we created and conducted automated test cycles that simulated the processing of large numbers of simultaneous inquiries and orders under two different scenarios:

B2C – demonstrating that Adobe Commerce can handle 15,000 concurrent consumer users submitting more than 1,000 orders per minute.
B2B – demonstrating that Adobe Commerce can handle 1,000 concurrent business users submitting 500 orders an hour with 750 items in their cart.

Given the different characteristics and challenges for businesses selling to consumers and businesses, we split our testing profiles and cycles into separate B2C and B2B scenarios. For each scenario, our testing flows and performance measurements were based on simulated day-to-day store activities and realistic customer transaction volumes.

The outcomes achieved

Adobe Commerce easily met or surpassed the test benchmarks Accenture had developed for both B2C and B2B eCommerce.

The results demonstrate that Adobe Commerce can scale up to provide personalized experiences across the entire base of consumer or business customers of large enterprises. While existing enterprise users may already know this, those currently vetting an eCommerce platform can now include Adobe Commerce in their assessment process with confidence that it will meet their growing needs.
