Angular is a frontend framework created by Google. It is a popular solution for large enterprise websites that plan to scale their site quickly. All in all, Angular offers great runtime performance and is fit to be the backbone for complex, revenue-generating websites with heavy traffic, such as eCommerce and Travel websites.
Angular comes with a bunch of built-in capabilities, including:
commercetools is an API-first, microservice-backed, cloud-based eCommerce platform known to transform enterprise websites to a modern commerce architecture quickly. This is done by separating the frontend presentation from the backend functionality to allow for seamless shopping experiences across all digital touchpoints, as well as increase DevOps. The platform offers a proprietary frontend names SUNRISE Starter Project and a robust API available named commercetools API. The API has a catalogue of 300+ endpoint which allow the platform to offer a modular, customizable architecture. While commercetools offers some the best APls among the leading eCommerce platforms, it does not run JavaScript or AMP server-side. To their credit, however, the platform recognizes that Sunrise Starter framework is limited and support free open-source third-party frameworks as well.
