With Magento being one of the most popular ecommerce platforms around, the long awaited last year release of Magento 2.0 brought new features, extensions and some improvements in performance. Let’s take a look at what the new Magento 2.0 has to offer, and what you can get out of the box.
Magento 2.0 Out of the Box Support and Different Cache Types
Applications, open source data bases and web servers in the previous version were obtainable only through extensions and customisation options. Now that is all in the past as Magento 2.0 comes with the built in support for technologies such as Nginx, Varnish or Redis. If you choose any of these solutions for your platform, now they can be easily installed. In cache management you will encounter different types that are compatible with Magento. Some of them are layout, block HTML, page or configuration cache as well as DDL, integration configuration, web services configuration or entity attribute value etc. Magento 2.0 also supports out of the box HTTP accelerator Varnish caches used in large-content sites and massively utilised API.
Content Delivery Network and PHP 7
Magento 2.0 out of the box offers you support for CDN (content delivery network) support, which you can now use to load Java script, HTML, image or media files from different domains across different servers of the CDN network. PHP7 will operate and run with greater speed then the 5x version and it will be compatible with Magento 2.0.
With still being a young platform and with room to develop, Magento 2.0 in many ways outlines its predecessor. Improved speed, less consumption of resources, and new supporting features makes it a valuable tool in helping you develop your online business and taking it to a new level.
