Vendure core features

Cutting-edge tech stack

Build

Vendure is built on a modern, proven, highly productive tech stack which is loved by developers.

Build on proven technologies: Vendure is built on proven and popular technologies - Node, NestJS, GraphQL & TypeScript.
Headless, composable, API-driven: Vendure is entirely driven by its GraphQL APIs. All functionality is exposed, allowing you to build any kind of integration you need.
Ultra-fast storefronts: Vendure's headless architecture leaves your developers free to use the latest, fastest PWA storefront solutions.
End-to-end type safety: TypeScript combined with GraphQL enables type-safety from the server to the storefront layer, allowing you to build confidently and rapidly.
Scalable: Vendure is set up to run in a wide range of environments, from a single instance on a traditional server to a sophisticated parallel, auto-scaled containerized service.
Extensible: A primary goal of Vendure is to provide an excellent developer experience, and to allow developers to customize and integrate their solution to exactly match the needs of the business.
