This is somewhat surprising, in a good way. A lot of large companies are pretty risk averse, and this prevents them from releasing the source for their shopping platforms into the wild. I'm sure there are some differences between the open source version and what they actually run.
Is this the complete platform? What's held back? I would think the analytic tools for usage and sales, how they store user data, and perhaps whatever they use to build profiles about individual users' shopping behavior. But that's just speculation.
- alexgrigoryan 10y agoElectrode is just the front end platform. We also have OneOps for our app server lifecycle management. Test Armada for automation. I don't know of anything lower in the stack that was open sourced than what I mentioned. The stuff we didn't put into the Electrode platform that is integrated internally, off the top of my head: 1. Integrations to our global config manager, that allows us to turn flags on/off in real time. 2. Integrations to our A/B Testing Tools 3. Integrations to our content management 4. Logging/Analytics/Metrics Integrations 5. Our CSS styles and Icons As you can see, almost everything is open sourced :)
