Pacemaker has access to all existing interfaces of Magento as well as the possibility to introduce new connections to foreign or local systems.

Pacemaker Components

Pacemaker consists of many modules. In the current version, these modules can be grouped into four components.

For a better understanding of Pacemaker, it is necessary to know that each of these components is a solution for different types of problems.

Each component has its own dependencies, and whenever you introduce new functionality to Pacemaker, you need to identify the right component to integrate your code.
