Welcome back to another edition of HackerNoon’s Company of the Week! This series aims to give tech companies from our database the big bright spotlight they rightfully deserve.

This week’s featured company is Elastic Path, a commerce platform that helps brands build and manage digital commerce experiences with more flexibility.

Elastic Path supports composable commerce, where businesses can select and integrate only the commerce capabilities they need. This approach helps companies avoid rigid systems and adapt their commerce stack based on current needs.

The platform uses a headless, API-first model that connects with various tools and services. Teams can launch and manage storefronts, checkout flows, and integrations without being tied to a specific front-end.

Elastic Path sponsored the Web Development & eCommerce Writing Contest on HackerNoon, which ran for three months and attracted a wide range of contributors from the developer and business community.

Participants wrote about composable architecture, headless commerce, checkout systems, and developer tooling. The goal was to surface real-world stories, best practices, and lessons from those working in commerce tech.

The contest resulted in:
• 400+ stories published
• Nearly 500,000 reads
• 60+ days of total reading time
• $12,000 awarded to 18 winners

Here’s how Harry Chemko, the Founder of Elastic Path, shared his enthusiasm for the participation of the dev community in the contest:

Elastic Path introduced the idea of composable commerce, offering a modular approach to commerce architecture. Its core product, Elastic Path Commerce Cloud, provides APIs to power digital sales channels with a backend that can be customized and scaled as needed.

The platform is used by global brands in retail, manufacturing, telecom, and other industries to manage and grow digital commerce operations. Elastic Path is a pioneer in intelligent commerce, sharing how AI is reshaping everything from product discovery to backend operations.
