Łukasz and Mateusz join Lakion – the first software house developing Sylius. They come under the wing of Paweł, the framework's creator, and his partner Michał. This is when the first commercial implementations based on Sylius are created - still a niche, but already a promising technology.
Łukasz and Mateusz become members of the Sylius Core Team. Their main task is to strengthen the technological foundations of the framework and prepare it for further development. From that moment on, they actively co-create Sylius' open code, having a real impact on its direction and quality.
The Lakion team rewrites Sylius almost from scratch. ALPHA and BETA versions are created, which set a new standard in designing e-commerce systems based on Symfony. At this time, Tymek joins the team. He creates official communication channels (Slack, Facebook, LinkedIn) and step by step builds the Sylius community – from zero to 5,500 active members by 2022.
Sylius 1.0 appears – the first stable version of the framework. Łukasz and Mateusz are responsible for core development, and Tymek leads the first major marketing campaign. At the same time, a product team joins – Sylius Sp. z o.o. is established, a company developing the framework as a full-fledged e-commerce solution.
We help build the ecosystem: the Sylius Partner Program is launched (0 → 65 agencies in 4 years). We train hundreds of developers. Szymon joins – a frontend developer responsible for new versions of the admin panel based on Bootstrap. Today he is one of the pillars of Commerce Weavers.
We participate in the launch of three key projects: Sylius Plus (commercial version of the platform), Sylius Store (plugin marketplace), Sylius Online Course – the main video knowledge source for developers (created by Mateusz).
Łukasz integrates Sylius with API Platform, which is one of the largest open-source projects in the Symfony ecosystem. Tymek is responsible for the first Sylius Plus sales to companies with 9-figure revenues and signs strategic partnerships with PayPal and Mollie.
Sylius exceeds one million installations. We hire our first Country Manager for France - Kevin - who develops the network of partners and clients in the region.
We organize SyliusCon – the first global conference dedicated to Sylius. The event takes place in Poland and becomes a historic moment for the entire community. In December, we officially end our work in the Core Team and establish Commerce Weavers.
Kevin and Jacob – previously associated with Sylius – join the Commerce Weavers team. Jacob develops the core, and we focus on commercial projects. We become an official Sylius training partner.
We finally end our participation in the Core Team and resign from the partner program. Instead, we focus on developing our own agency and clients.
10 years later, we still work with Sylius - today as Commerce Weavers, independent experts with enormous experience.
We are working on a new chapter: creating knowledge and tools that will help other teams effectively develop e-commerce. Sylius remains our main tool – and the best choice for demanding implementations.
Thank you for being with us. See you - at an event, on GitHub, or on Slack.

We know Sylius from the inside because we were its co-creators. Almost half of our team are former core team members or active contributors. Mateusz, Łukasz and Jakub are still in the top 10 Sylius contributors in terms of number of commits. This is not just experience - it's a deep knowledge of every line of code, architecture and platform capabilities.
For years, we have actively shaped the e-commerce landscape, co-creating Sylius – from an ambitious project to a globally recognized open-source platform. As Core Team leaders, we participated in all key stages of its development. Our work has helped companies around the world implement scalable, modern and efficient sales systems. We were responsible for technological decisions, strategic initiatives and the development of features that are now standard in e-commerce. It's not just code – it's also experience in building communities and implementing business solutions. By working with us, you gain a partner who truly knows and understands e-commerce, because for years they co-created its foundations. Together we will design solutions that truly support the development of your business and prepare it for the future.
Years of working on Sylius have taught us how to build reliable and flexible systems. Now we use this knowledge to deliver solutions that work immediately – without compromises.
We understand not only the code, but also the business context. We help adapt architecture and technology to specific goals, sales models and organizational realities.
Our history proves that quality is not just a slogan for us, but a daily practice. We design e-commerce experiences that work and deliver measurable results.
Although we are no longer part of the Sylius team today, the experience from that time is the foundation on which we built Commerce Weavers. We continue to develop e-commerce projects and help companies achieve their business and sales goals. We would be happy to bring this experience to your project – so that technology truly supports the development and scaling of your business.
