Could you build this?
Partial Basic e-commerce stores are easy to build, but building an entire self-hosted 'operating system' covering orders, inventory, customer marketing, and extensible plugins requires extensive modular architecture.
What it would actually take: Requires an architecture similar to MedusaJS or Saleor: a headless modular backend in Node.js/Go, decoupled event bus (Redis/Kafka) for asynchronous inventory and order state transitions, and a pluggable architecture for custom apps. It necessitates deep domain knowledge in e-commerce transactional integrity, distributed tax calculations, and fulfillment workflows.
