Guide on progressive migration with the Strangler Pattern: 3 to 6 month timeline, planned zero downtime, and production validation at each wave.

What is a Precision Assessment for Adobe Commerce / Magento?
AI-assisted multidimensional diagnostic in 1 to 3 weeks: margin leak map, real TCO, and a clear recommendation to migrate, optimize, or maintain.
Magecore's Precision Assessment is an AI-assisted multidimensional diagnostic that identifies margin leaks and technical debt in Adobe Commerce / Magento operations, delivered in 1 to 3 weeks — not months — with a cost map in real currency and a clear recommendation: migrate, optimize, or maintain the platform.
Guide 03
How to reduce TCO in Adobe Commerce / Magento operations?
Realistic targets of 25% to 50% infrastructure TCO reduction over 12 months with modular architecture, observability, and elimination of reactive costs.

Guide 04
Is it worth migrating monolithic Adobe Commerce to headless?
When migrating to modular/headless architecture makes financial sense, and when optimizing integrations and infrastructure is the right call.
Migrating monolithic Adobe Commerce to modular or headless architecture is worth it when the monolith limits margin, change velocity, or scalability and migration ROI exceeds the cost of maintaining the status quo — but in some cases the assessment shows integrations and infrastructure, not the platform, are the bottleneck.
Guide 05
Adobe Commerce vs Mage-OS: when is migration worth it?
Comparison between Adobe Commerce and Mage-OS: licensing cost elimination, technical requirements, and when keeping Adobe Commerce is the right decision.
Migrating from Adobe Commerce to Mage-OS makes sense when licensing cost is material to the P&L, the operation does not depend on Adobe-exclusive features, and the team can sustain an open-source distribution — but in many cases the assessment shows optimizing the current installation or fixing integrations delivers more ROI than switching distributions.
