What You Should Know About Magento Go and Magento Go Platform

The first you should know is that Magento team will launch Magento Go and Magento Go Developer Platform soon. So, let’s get into details.

Magento Go is an online service that allows anyone to start an eCommerce website. The best part about Magento Go is that no technical skills or software is required to use it! In other words, an online store owner can focus on products and marketing rather than solving the problems that only a web developer can solve.

As for Magento Go Platform, it’s a Platform as a Service (PaaS) solution that allows developers to build applications for Magento Go. By the way, as any other Platform as a Service, it removes the need for online merchants to handle the installation, set-up and troubleshooting.

On Wikipedia it says that “Platform as a Service (PaaS) is the delivery of a computing platform and solution stack as a service. PaaS offerings facilitate deployment of applications without the cost and complexity of buying and managing the underlying hardware and software and provisioning hosting capabilities[1], providing all of the facilities required to support the complete life cycle of building and delivering web applications and services entirely available from the Internet[2].”

Magento Go will be launched this month and it it’s expected to be used by online merchants all over the world, no matter how big the online store is and how good the store owner is at web design and web development.
