In Today’s Blog, We will understand Adobe Commerce Cloud Project Structure. We will also look at some important cloud files used for credentials and application configuration.
Adobe Commerce or Magento Cloud is an automated hosting platform with a self-service approach to building, deploying, and managing your Commerce application.
Adobe Commerce uses AWS to host Commerce projects and is built on the Platform.sh which makes it easy to manage code, environment, and accelerated deployment.
It includes all code in Git branches, associated environments, and scripts to deploy the Commerce application. Environments contain services to support the Commerce application, including a database, web server, and caching server.
Adobe provides a Cloud Console and developer tools to manage all aspects of your project.
Adobe Commerce Cloud Repository
If you take a look at the Adobe Commerce Cloud GitHub repository you will find out below files that allow you to control its behavior.
