Platform Foundation Updates (2016-2020)

In its early years (2016–2018), Arcadier focused on commercialising core marketplace functionality and validating foundational capabilities based on market demand. This phase emphasised bringing essential marketplace features to production. Between 2019 and 2020, Arcadier concentrated on strengthening the platform’s core architecture to reliably support scalable, multi-sided marketplaces. This period laid the groundwork for marketplace operations, seller and admin tooling, extensibility, and platform reliability that subsequent releases continue to build upon. Earlier updates and patch notes from 2016 to 2018 have been intentionally abstracted here to shift focus toward the stage at which the platform reached greater operational maturity, stability, and scalability.
