We are back with another Company of the Week feature! Every week, we highlight a tech company from our Tech Company News Pages. From major corporations to early-stage startups, HackerNoon tracks and profiles companies building the internet.
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 🤝 HackerNoon Writing Contests
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:
“We believe that commerce should never be a barrier to innovation. By sponsoring this contest, we gave developers a platform to share how they’re building and improving commerce experiences”
