The tenfold increased internet usage, mobile facilities, multiple social networks create a new user’s ecosystem, where there is no place for old methods of promotions. In order to differ from competitors and become recognizable store owners should not only use sales incentives, but also create a valuable content for users, surprise and guide them.
Magento 2 is a long awaited and simultaneously thrilling update of the platform for the whole Magento ecosystem. What are the improvements to be implemented? Is it going to be a real breakthrough and how will it influence the life cycle of the platform? These are the questions asked by everyone, who is connected to Magento one way or another.
On his slides Max Yekaterynenko tears down the veil of uncertainty from Magento 2 and shows the road map of the update, its main goals and components.
Modern tech stack, improved performance and scalability, streamlined customizations, simplified external integrations, easier installations and upgrades, high code quality and testing – these are ingredients of success.
Some main features of the programming level sound very budding: PHP 5.5, jQuery, HTML 5, CSS 3, Less, etc. The full-page cache out of the box in the CE version, Varnish integration, advanced default theme, Composer, full set of carried out tests, and many more components are designed to bring the platform to a new level. Well, we are waiting for this.

One more problem is that we still sell boringly, while every brand needs at least rear sensations.
