Hello Spryker People! I recentlly had a discussion with our Solution engineering team regarding Symfony Events. Where some engineers say that “Symfony app events are often used” during project development and other say “it’s only Spryker internal, nobody uses them”. So maybe we need to make a better use of them? And I know, who knows the answer - YOU! 🤓 How often do you use Symfony events in your project? 🔥 - best feature ever (very often) 👍 - I/We use them 💡- I/We use them, but outside of Spryker projects 👎 - I/We don’t use them 🤠 - what Symfony events?

Rather Elasticsearch or OpenSearch? Elasticsearch's version 7 is approaching its end of life in June 2023. For your Spryker project, which search engine would you like to use going forward?

And I’m positive that you know the right answer. 📃 Terminology used: • Indexer function that builds an indexed collections of transfers (please check image attachment example) • Grouper returns an builds indexed collections of transfer lists (please check image attachment example) 💡 Idea: • Provide unified way how to autogenerate this kind of methods (or the way how you can reuse grouper/indexer) ⚙️ Here you can find the example how it looks like in some frameworks (optional). thankyou Thanks for the feedback!

Introducing….CommerceQuest! 🎉 Great news to share with you all: We’re really excited to announce that we have a NEW community platform available to you, CommerceQuest! This wonderful Slack Community has brought so much support to community members over the past few years. We want to continue this spirit of collaboration but elevate things…well, to outer-space actually 🚀 After talking to lots of community members, we learned that while most of you are pretty satisfied with Slack, there are a few big pain points that we couldn’t solve by sticking here. You can read more about why we decided to make the switch here! The Slack Community will remain open during our beta phase but CommerceQuest is the future 🙂 cq CLICK HERE TO REGISTER cq Just one example of something new to offer: You probably have seen that we are limited to a 90-day search history here, but we were able to recover our history of knowledge from the day this Slack was “born.” We already moved it into Slack Archives in CommerceQuest! CommerceQuest will follow the same spirit of what we have in Slack: Peer-based knowledge exchange & support among community members. We invite you to get in there, check it out, and start asking/answering questions like you do here!

In the spirit of the new CommerceQuest, @clean-queen-54733 and I will be doing a short virtual orientation on August 22nd if you are interested to join us! We’ll show you around the new space and answer any questions you have 😄 You can sign up here: https://commercequest.space/events/10-commercequest-newcomers-orientation
