Shopware AG opensources SwagEssentials

Shopware AG has just opensourced SwagEssentials, a key element of its Shopware 5 Enterprise Edition (EE) suite. The code can be found here: https://github.com/shopwareLabs/SwagEssentials

This step, which went almost silently, is in fact great news for all Shopware 5 users who could/did not afford to buy the EE, but have run into performance issues. Key features that comes with SwagEssentials are

  • support for multi-server operation
  • support for MySQL read/write replicas
  • redis number ranges (replacing the rather slow MySQL number range table)

If you have an questions on how your Shopware 5 installation would benefit from these features, or what it would take to get these implemented, feel free to contact me!
