Spartacus

SAP's open-source Angular storefront for SAP Commerce Cloud

Spartacus
Best for
Enterprise teams already running SAP Commerce Cloud who need an Angular-based, SEO-friendly composable storefront on top of it.
Skip if
You're not on SAP Commerce Cloud - Spartacus is tightly coupled to that backend and isn't a general-purpose e-commerce starter.

Spartacus (now officially called SAP Commerce Cloud composable storefront) is a lean, open-source Angular-based storefront that talks to SAP Commerce Cloud exclusively through its REST API. It runs decoupled from the backend on its own server, supports PWA capabilities, server-side rendering for SEO, and CMS-driven page composition, and is developed and maintained by the SAP Commerce Cloud team.

Pros

  • Free, open source, and maintained directly by SAP's Commerce Cloud team
  • Decoupled architecture with SSR and PWA support suits SEO-sensitive enterprise storefronts
  • Upgradable library structure keeps custom storefronts compatible with new SAP releases

Cons

  • Only useful if you're already running SAP Commerce Cloud as the backend
  • spartacus.dev, the domain often associated with the project, is not SAP's official site and currently redirects elsewhere - use github.com/SAP/spartacus instead
  • Angular-specific and enterprise-oriented, not aimed at indie/solo developers
