What is Adobe’s official stance on Luma in 2026?
Categories:
Hyvä vs Luma
Adobe hasn’t formally deprecated Luma, but the de facto signals are clear:
- No meaningful Luma updates since 2022, only security backports.
- Adobe’s own 2024 announcement positioned Hyvä as the recommended frontend for Adobe Commerce going forward.
- Adobe Commerce Cloud onboarding for new merchants now defaults to Hyvä project templates.
- Magento Open Source still ships with Luma as default (won’t change in 2026), but every "what should I build new with?" recommendation from Adobe Solution Partners points at Hyvä.
The way to read this: Luma will keep working for 5+ more years (Magento doesn’t break things), but it’s in maintenance mode. Building greenfield on Luma in 2026 is choosing the legacy stack on day one.
