Open-source eCommerce platform Alokai claims 8+ years of experience, now backend-agnostic and supporting more than 10+ e‑commerce platforms, with a UI library Storefront UI rewritten to Tailwind in 2019 and copied into projects for fast theming. It recommends SSR caching plus rendering session‑specific parts with client‑only components and placeholders (useFetch server:false in Next-like frameworks), delegating federation and orchestration of 10–30 APIs to an API gateway layer via Alokai Middleware and a typed frontend SDK.
