The new technology VTEX IO, bets mainly on enhancing the creation of new experiences, greater autonomy for the merchant and shorter execution time since the development flows are faster.
In this article we will talk about VTEX IO, the main differences from VTEX CMS and why your e-commerce should opt for this new technology and its advantages.
What is VTEX IO?
O VTEX IO is a framework is a cloud development technology that provides a unique microservices architecture and allows building high-quality, low-cost web software.
The technology unifies the development of a store into a single application, where it is possible to test and scale automatically. In addition, it avoids major issues related to updates, as the store interface is independent of the development back-end.
What makes VTEX IO and VTEX CMS different?
One of the biggest differences between the two technologies, for sure, is the amount of updates. While VTEX CMS has not received any evolution for some time, VTEX IO technology receives frequent updates, both by the internal team and by partners who constantly develop new features, as well as some APP's. In this aspect Codeby stands out for a wide range of functionalities and Apps developed by our team and used in successful projects, such as Bblend e Extrafarma.
Another difference between CSM and VTEX IO are the development flows. While in CMS the flows are slower, changes take time to be active in the store and the development environment is unstructured and divided between mobile and desktop. In VTEX IO it is possible to find unified environments, which improves and makes development flows faster and gives the shopkeeper more autonomy in managing the store and making small changes through the modules.
We can see that in terms of agility and autonomy, VTEX IO excels over CMS.
