Performance Management
Version: 8.2
Sitecore Commerce 8.2 powered by Commerce Server and Commerce Server 11.4 supports massive catalogs with millions of products. To ensure the best system performance with Sitecore, large catalogs must use Item Buckets to contain Product content items. Item buckets dynamically organize child nodes and enable search instead of navigating through the content tree.
For information on using item buckets to support Big Data with Sitecore, refer to Sitecore Search Scaling Guide.
