Damien is the owner of a small Magento and Adobe Commerce agency, Graycore. He's been a software engineer for the last 15 years and is the maintainer of Mage-OS, Faker-js (a Javascript library), and a PWA framework called Daffodil.
In his interview with Tim, Damien shares his thoughts on the future:
- We’re going to see consolidation - just like we have Apple, Microsoft, and Linux, we will see the same thing with eComm platforms
- Magento will be the Linux
- Open source software will continue working best for small businesses - $0 - 30M and for really big companies
- Look out for Shopware - it's much like Magento and started in the German market
- Headless and composable are different things, and knowing how they work is critical
- MageOS will continue filling in Magento gaps, publishing a nightly version, and accepting pull requests from the community
- Look for more drag-and-drop eCommerce platforms
- Microservices will continue to carve apart various feature areas of eCommerce
