The Magento community has been buzzing about Magento 3 for years. While Adobe hasn’t confirmed its development, industry trends suggest that if a next-gen Magento emerges, it’ll likely be:

1. A SaaS-Based Platform

  • No more self-hosted headaches – Expect cloud-native architecture (like Shopify Plus but for enterprise).

  • Adobe Experience Cloud integration – Deeper ties with Adobe’s analytics, CDP, and AI tools.

2. API-First & Headless by Default

  • Built for composable commerce – Seamless connections with PWA frontends (like PWA Studio 2.0), third-party apps, and microservices.

  • Magento as a backend-only solution – Frontend freedom via React/Vue.js + GraphQL APIs.

3. What We Don’t Know

  • Will Magento Open Source survive in a SaaS world?

  • How will migration from Magento 2 work?

Why This Matters Now

Even without Magento 3, you can prepare by:
✅ Adopting headless/PWA (Hyvä, Vue Storefront)
✅ Using Adobe Commerce’s SaaS tools (Product Recommendations, Live Search)
✅ Building custom API integrations (future-proof for any platform changes)

Stay tuned—we’ll update this post if Adobe makes an announcement.
