Enterprise Commerce Upgrade & Storefront Rebuild
Adobe Commerce 2.4.3 → 2.4.8 and a ground-up storefront rebuild across EMEA & USA store views. 30+ modules audited. Zero downtime, zero data loss.
Challenge
A global technology brand's merchandise store, running Adobe Commerce (Enterprise) across EMEA and USA store views, needed both a major platform upgrade and a full storefront rebuild. The platform was on an end-of-life 2.4.3 with 30+ third-party and custom modules, regional payment and fulfilment integrations, and a multi-store, multi-currency setup — all of which had to be audited and carried forward before the customer-facing theme could be rebuilt on top.
Approach
- Full pre-upgrade audit: a module compatibility matrix across all 30+ vendor and custom modules, identifying breaking changes, deprecated APIs, and version constraints before a single line of code was changed
- Phased upgrade from Adobe Commerce 2.4.3 to 2.4.8 on PHP 8.3 — Composer dependency resolution, database schema migrations, and integration re-testing with zero data loss
- Ground-up storefront rebuild of the customer-facing theme, iterated across multiple design revisions while preserving the multi-region EMEA/USA store-view and multi-currency structure
- End-to-end coverage with Cypress and Playwright, deployed through Bitbucket Pipelines to Hypernode with a zero-downtime cutover
