Technical Evaluation Framework: Vetting Adobe Commerce Partners

Adobe Commerce (the licensed enterprise edition of Magento, available on-premises or on Adobe Commerce on Cloud) represents the pinnacle of enterprise commerce flexibility. It pairs the open Magento architecture with enterprise capabilities: native B2B functionality, Adobe Sensei AI search, Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) integration, and enterprise cloud hosting.

1. Cloud Infrastructure & ECE-Tools Deployment

• ▸
  Adobe Commerce on Cloud Architecture: Hosted on AWS or Azure with dedicated Git integration. Deployments are managed via ece-tools with dedicated build, deploy, and post-deploy phases. Vetted agencies understand how to optimize build times, configure .magento.env.yaml, and manage read/write database connections.
• ▸
  Fastly VCL & Edge Performance: Adobe Commerce Cloud includes enterprise Fastly CDN with Image Optimization, DDoS protection, and Web Application Firewall (WAF). Ensure the partner knows how to configure custom VCL snippets and maintain 90%+ edge cache hit ratios.

2. Out-of-Process Extensibility: Adobe App Builder

• ▸
  Adobe's modern architectural recommendation is out-of-process extensibility using Adobe App Builder (Adobe I/O Runtime).
• ▸
  Instead of polluting the core PHP codebase with custom modules that increase technical debt and delay version upgrades, App Builder executes serverless microservices reacting to Adobe I/O Events. Ask candidate agencies for live demonstrations of App Builder integrations.

3. Native Enterprise & B2B Suite Capabilities

• ▸
  Deep familiarity with Adobe Commerce native B2B tools: shared catalogs, company account hierarchies, buyer permission matrix, custom pricing tiers, requisition lists, and automated quote negotiation workflows.
• ▸
  Adobe Sensei AI: Proper configuration of Live Search and automated AI product recommendations to increase average order value (AOV).

4. Partner Certification & Team Auditing

• ▸
  Verify that lead engineers assigned to your account hold official Adobe Certified Expert - Adobe Commerce Developer or Adobe Certified Master - Commerce Architect credentials.
• ▸
  Demand specific client references on Adobe Commerce Cloud, validating their past adherence to deployment SLAs and post-launch stability.
