Its just bad. The commercetools projects I have seen are all slow, broken clusterfucks. In one instance they apparently used the search api, that commercetools provides, and the requests take more than 3 seconds in some cases. Maybe they just implemented it badly, but I suspect its a mix of bad implementation and bad api. When I talked with the people that implemented that, about doing more complicated stuff than a run-of-the-mill facetted search, they could not offer a solution. Commercetools apparently uses elastic-search under the hood, but either its not possible to use that directly or not supposed to be used directly. @cnj please correct any misinformation, I confess I haven't spend any time researching this (I was turned off right away).
