Good morning,

I’m excited to announce that this is the second issue of stackpad.

In this week’s issue, I found a lot of commerce related posts that will definitely give you an insight and better understanding how the composable architecture works behind the scenes.

Furthermore, I stumbled upon the Composable Digital Experience Manifesto, written by Dries Buytaert, co-founder of Acquia.

So, here are this week’s headlines!

Cheers.
