Architecture - 2.4 Edition Differences (Enterprise, Commuinity)

Question 1

Advantages and disadvantages of the two versions.

Answer 1

• If a customer has the money, Enterprise is the way to go. There are a lot of pre-built modules that will save development time. They are tested and stable. Enterprise has Magento support whereas Community doesn’t.

• In Magento 1, the difference was a few modules and poor support.
Magento has been fixing the support and adding to the modules.

• Advantages of EE (https://magento.stackexchange.com/a/90481/13):
• Database scalability
• Advanced search
• Job queue
• Google tag manager (can easily add this into CE)
• Additional admin logging
• Customer attributes
• Support
• Additional modules to better customer experience

Question 2

Cache, indexing, search, and other feature differences ?

Answer 2

• There is no difference in CE vs EE caching other than the use of message queues (with RabbitMQ)
• Same with indexing
• Solr is available but will be changed out to ElasticSearch
