Reaction
Reaction is an event-driven, headless commerce platform designed to decouple backend business logic from the frontend presentation layer. It utilizes an API-first architecture with a GraphQL data layer to manage online sales and retail operations.
The platform supports multi-tenant resource sharing, allowing multiple independent storefronts to be hosted and managed within a single installation. It features a plugin-based extension system that enables the integration of third-party services and custom business logic through composable workflows.
The system covers core retail capabilities including catalog management with complex product variants, inventory tracking, and order fulfillment. It also handles billing and logistics through sales tax calculations, shipping rate determination, and automated transactional emails.
Deployment is managed via container-based orchestration using Docker to coordinate the API, database, and cache services across different environments.
