# Spartacus

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

https://topboilerplates.com/spartacus

Framework: Angular | Pricing: Free

## Verdict

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.

## Description

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 and cons

+ 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

- 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
