What is Headless / PWA API Layer?

A custom-built Magento 2 module that exposes optimized GraphQL and REST endpoints, an outbound webhook event bus, response caching, and token and rate-limit controls to power headless and PWA storefronts. Built, installed and supported by ECOSIRE on a fixed lead time. Built to order by ECOSIRE for Magento 2 / Adobe Commerce (build-to-order) — indicative price from $999.00 USD; request a quote for a scoped proposal.

Key Features

Extended GraphQL schema in etc/schema.graphqls with custom resolvers for fields the core leaves unresolved (rich product, inventory, pricing, CMS and account data)
Additional REST endpoints declared in etc/webapi.xml, bound to service-contract interfaces under Api/ for stable, versioned contracts
Resolver batching plus di.xml plugins/interceptors on heavy resolvers to eliminate N+1 query patterns under PWA load
API response and resolver caching keyed for Varnish/Fastly and Adobe Commerce Cloud, with explicit cache tags and TTLs per endpoint
Outbound webhook event bus wired through Magento observers and events.xml for catalog, cart, order, customer and CMS events
HMAC-signed webhook payloads delivered via a cron-backed retry queue with exponential backoff and a dead-letter log
Per-consumer integration tokens with scoped permissions so a PWA, mobile app and partner each get isolated access
Per-token and per-IP rate limiting with configurable windows and 429 responses to protect the storefront API under spikes
Admin ACL under etc/acl.xml plus Stores Configuration panels for tokens, rate limits, webhook targets and cache TTLs
Versioned GraphQL/REST schema documentation (SDL export plus OpenAPI for REST) generated for your frontend team
CORS, allowed-origin and preflight handling tuned for decoupled domains (storefront on a separate host)
Compatibility shims and field aliasing so PWA Studio, Vue Storefront and custom Next.js clients can adopt the schema with minimal frontend churn

About this Product

Headless / PWA API Layer for Magento 2 & Adobe Commerce

Headless and PWA storefronts (PWA Studio, Vue Storefront, Next.js, Hyvä React Checkout) live or die by the API layer behind them. Magento 2 ships GraphQL and REST out of the box, but real headless projects quickly hit the edges: unresolved fields, N+1 resolver queries, no first-class outbound webhooks, and no fine-grained token or rate-limit governance per consumer. This extension closes those gaps.

ECOSIRE builds this as a proper module under app/code/Ecosire/HeadlessApiLayer — registration.php, a versioned etc/module.xml, and clean dependency injection. New and extended GraphQL types are declared in etc/schema.graphqls with custom resolvers; new REST routes are declared in etc/webapi.xml bound to service-contract interfaces in Api/. We add resolver-level batching and di.xml plugins (interceptors) on heavy resolvers to kill N+1 queries, plus a full-page and resolver caching layer keyed for Varnish/Fastly so headless reads stay fast.

The outbound webhook event bus subscribes Magento observers and events.xml to catalog, cart, order and customer events, then dispatches signed payloads to your frontend or middleware via a retrying cron-backed queue. Token and rate-limit management gives each consumer (web PWA, mobile app, partner) its own integration token, scopes, and throttle, all governed by admin ACL under etc/acl.xml and configurable in Stores → Configuration.

Because it is build-to-order, we scope it to your exact storefront, your Adobe Commerce or Open Source edition, and your hosting (Adobe Commerce Cloud, AWS, on-prem). We do not sell an instant Adobe Commerce Marketplace download — ECOSIRE writes, installs, tests and supports the module on your environment, and ships versioned schema documentation your frontend team can build against.

What you get

  • A custom Magento 2 module (Ecosire_HeadlessApiLayer) under app/code with registration.php, module.xml, di.xml, schema.graphqls, webapi.xml, events.xml and acl.xml
  • Installation and configuration on your environment (Adobe Commerce or Open Source), including setup:upgrade, di:compile and cache warm-up
  • Exported GraphQL SDL and REST OpenAPI documentation versioned for your frontend team
  • Admin configuration for integration tokens, scopes, rate limits, webhook targets and cache TTLs, gated by ACL
  • A short technical handover document covering endpoints, cache behavior, webhook payloads and signature verification
  • Post-delivery support window with bug fixes and compatibility patches for your pinned Magento version

Who this is for

Headless Frontend Lead

Building a PWA or Next.js storefront and needs predictable, fast GraphQL/REST contracts with documented schemas rather than fighting unresolved core fields and N+1 resolvers.

Magento Solution Architect

Decoupling the frontend from Magento and wants a governed API layer with per-consumer tokens, scoped ACL and webhooks instead of bolting custom controllers onto each project.

Ecommerce Engineering Manager

Running an Adobe Commerce store on Cloud or AWS who needs the headless API layer to stay cached, rate-limited and supported against a pinned Magento version.

Frequently Asked Questions about Headless / PWA API Layer

How long until the extension is delivered and live?

Because this is build-to-order, ECOSIRE scopes your storefront, Magento edition and hosting first, then builds, installs and tests the module on your environment. Typical delivery is around one working week depending on how many custom GraphQL types, REST endpoints and webhook events you need. You get a firm timeline in writing before work starts — this is not an instant Marketplace download.

What ongoing support and updates are included?

Every build includes a post-delivery support window covering bug fixes and compatibility patches against your pinned Magento version. We support the module through Magento and Adobe Commerce patch releases (security and minor versions) and can move it forward across major upgrades under a separate maintenance agreement. Schema changes are versioned so your frontend isn't broken by an update.

Does this work on both Adobe Commerce and Magento Open Source?

Yes. The module targets both editions. We use service contracts, di.xml and the standard GraphQL/REST extension points so it runs on Magento Open Source and on Adobe Commerce, including Adobe Commerce Cloud with Fastly. Caching and rate-limit behavior are tuned to whichever edition and hosting you run.

Will it conflict with my existing PWA stack like PWA Studio or Vue Storefront?

No. It extends the existing GraphQL schema and adds REST routes rather than replacing core ones, so PWA Studio, Vue Storefront and custom Next.js clients keep working. We provide field aliasing and compatibility shims so your frontend adopts the new fields incrementally, and we test against your actual storefront before handover.

How are the extra API endpoints and webhooks secured?

Each consumer gets a scoped integration token with per-token and per-IP rate limiting and 429 throttling. Admin configuration is gated by ACL under etc/acl.xml. Outbound webhook payloads are HMAC-signed so your receiver can verify authenticity, and CORS/allowed-origin rules restrict which decoupled domains can call the API.
