Version 1.0 of the Magento software was launched on March 21, 2008 by the company Varien on the basis of the Zend Framework.
Magento connector
This company had been working on the development of Magento since 2007. With a decade of experience in creating merchant sites, the idea of a free and modular platform seemed interesting to its developers. The year of its launch, the Magento project won the trophy for the new best Open Source project by SourceForge. The economic model of the Magento e-commerce solution is clarified in 2009 with the release of the version: Enterprise Edition by Varien, which offers many additional functions and features, customer service and a guarantee of operation, against a monthly subscription. A “Professional” version appears in 2010, cheaper than the EE version but more complete than the free version, in the wake of this additional Magento solution, the company Varien is renamed Magento Inc. Finally, Ebay, already owner of 49% of Magento Inc announces the acquisition of the remaining 51% on June 7, 2011. In May 2018, Adobe announced the acquisition of Magento for $1.68 billion.
