 ## Principles
 The main principle is to help the development teams focus on the implementation of business features without worrying about **CLEAN ARCHITECTURE**.
 
+* **[Atomic Architecture](https://virtocommerce.com/atomic-architecture)**: Assemble your scalable ecommerce solution by selecting ready-to-use modules that serve all your digital needs.
 * **[MICROSERVICES](https://virtocommerce.com/microservices)**: Every application is built from headless microservices (modules). Applications and microservices are not limited to composite applications, they can also be used for building any other application and hence are functionally independent. 
 * **[API-FIRST](https://virtocommerce.com/api-ecommerce)**: Ecommerce service with the right API design. All business logic is accessible via API, either Rest or GraphQL.

-## Comparison with 2.x
-
-In the new version, we changed our primary technology stack to .NET Core for the platform application and all key modules. We also resolved known technical and architecture design issues we had in 2.x: caching, overloaded core module, asynchronous code, platform complexity, extensibility, performance, and authentication.
-
-Besides, we improved the extensibility and unification of the application. The unified architecture and using best practices reduce the training time for developers who are just starting to work with Virto Commerce.
-
-Virto Commerce Platform v3 helps you increase the development speed and significantly reduce time to market.
