Project Activity: Active – Broadleaf’s open-source core is stable and updated sporadically (fewer public commits than some projects, with ~1-2k stars). The latest commit was in 2025 and the team tends to update the repo alongside major releases. Because part of the development happens in private (enterprise features), the open-source repo sees fewer frequent commits, but it’s supported by a company and has a clear upgrade path. Broadleaf’s longevity (over a decade old) and usage in enterprises indicate it will continue to be maintained for the foreseeable future.
Sources: The information above is compiled from official GitHub repositories, documentation, and community articles for each project. Star counts are as of December 2025. Key features and activity notes reference official documentation or release notes where applicable (for example, Medusa’s README for its customization framework[2], Spree’s blog for its multi-* capabilities[16], etc.). Each project’s GitHub page was consulted for the latest commit activity and star counts[1][13], and major features were cross-verified with documentation or developer blogs for accuracy. Each platform listed is a complete e-commerce solution, not just a library or plugin, and all (except Reaction Commerce) show ongoing development and support in their communities.
