Technology spotlight
We talk a lot about what it means to be a “real-time reactive” ecommerce platform. Here’s how we define reactive:
Re-ac-tive (adjective): responsive, event-driven, scalable and resilient; delivering a highly satisfying user experience with right-now actions that deliver in-the-moment results.
Reaction Commerce relies on the Meteor framework for its “reactive” architecture. Its UI/UX design emphasizes actionable data and responsiveness to user behavior and social trends.
