### What we like

Follows 12-factor architecture. Separation of concerns with API backend (Python + GraphQL), admin dashboard, and storefront UI (TS + React) all separate projects/instances. Includes GraphQL Playground to make it easy to test API queries. CLI and SDK for custom storefront implementation, or use NextJS template. Open source or run on their cloud.

### Tradeoffs

Storefront and dashboard are static, but the backend APIs need to be managed for scalability. You need to manage your own task runner for background tasks.
