From PaaS to SaaS: Insights from Adobe Commerce as a Cloud Service Implementation

Moving from Adobe Commerce PaaS to Adobe Commerce as a Cloud Service (ACCS) is often seen as a high risk, heavy lift initiative, especially for teams operating complex commerce platforms. This session brings clarity through firsthand experience launching one of the first Adobe Commerce SaaS environments in EMEA, marking a strategic shift away from traditional PaaS development.

We’ll share real world lessons from this migration: how the transition unfolded, what changed for development teams post launch, and which new architectural and workflow patterns emerged once extensibility moved outside the core platform. Rather than focusing on theory, this session highlights what changed after go live: what worked and what we would do differently.

Key Takeaways:

How Adobe Commerce SaaS fundamentally changes development and extensibility
Real world trade offs teams must evaluate when moving from PaaS to SaaS
Lessons learned that inform platform decisions, roadmaps, and team readiness

Attendees will leave this session with a grounded perspective on how to reduce risk, minimize customization, and consider ACCS implementation with confidence, backed by experience driven best practices.
