Performance and scalability

Adobe Commerce 2.4.7 release introduces significant improvements in the processing speed of save operations for large deployment configurations.

Application Server for GraphQL APIs

In addition to the GraphQL enhancements described above, Adobe Commerce 2.4.7 also includes a new PHP application server based on the Swoole PHP extension. It allows for keeping state across Commerce GraphQL API calls by removing the requirement for bootstrapping. Thus, API requests become more efficient when the application state is shared throughout processes. The enhancement results in API response times reduced by 50 – 60 milliseconds.
