PrestaShopPrestaShopSyliusSylius
and
SymfonySymfony

I'm looking to build an eCommerce website and seeking advice from professionals on the most reliable tech stack that I can use. Currently, the website is built on top of WordPress with WooCommerce, but the company has grown up, and evidently, the number of products have been increased. The site needs a fresh code because WordPress doesn't make it anymore.

The stack I'm most familiar with is PHP + Symfony + MySQL + Apache HTTP Server or NGINX. Headless eCommerce is the one I'm looking for, because of the huge complexity, it would be great to separate the backend from the frontend. Not sure about CMSs, because they had a huge amount of functionality that the application doesn't need. I've been looking also at PrestaShop, it seems ok, but not sure about customization and front-end integration. As a custom solution, I have found Sylius or Aimeos for the backend, but I'm not too sure about a frontend stack.

Could you please give some suggestions about the frontend stack and if the ones for the backend are ok?

You need PIM and Drupal can both do eCommerce site and PIM catalog with many modules. Tests are available and extension are coded as Open Source too. Smaller cost of ownership. Require knowledge and more debug to get good result. From version 10 it will provide automatic updates that required for e-commerce in term of security

"You can use the framework of your choice, but the key thing to remember is that the best way to maintain a stable structure based on network demand and load is to use a DevOps approach with microservices. You can use Symfony, but with this framework, you typically have both the backend and frontend in the same source code, which can be more difficult to maintain and evolve. For more information on microservices and DevOps technology, you can refer to a DevOps case study on my website by following the link below:" https://profix-info.com/en/etude/

Hi, Sylius (headless) is great. For the front, I suggest you to have a look at vuestorefront.io, I've never used it but heard a lot about it and it seems it fits well with Sylius.
