Cloud UI 1.2 introduces a initial separate UI that can be used for most product detail pages, extending building on the 1.0 release, which enabled a separate UI for the Pricing Calendar .

More frequent, lower-risk frontend-only releases
Creation of distinct, releasable units
Shift toward a modern application server framework
Improved page load performance over time as more of the site is migrated to this framework
The Cloud UI is the foundation for our upcoming redesign of the shopping pages.
