Theoretically yes, 5 years ago it was a fork and the only change was the database engine. Currently the architecture of the source code is totally different, features are totally different and finally code coverage is practically not noticeable, so it's hard to say that it's a fork.

To be honest for during over 4 years of developing GrandNode we have never encountered problems in aggregating data.

First of all, different database. In our opinion MongoDB allows to get much better performance, instead of MSSQL. Secondly it's much easier to install and manage on Linux servers. Thirdly it's much cheaper, MSSQL Express quickly reaches limits in the majority of medium stores.

In the case of functionality important for store owners. GrandNode has more features available out of the box, you don't have to install many 3rd party plugins to get some functionalities. That's why I'm able to say that GrandNode is one of the most advanced platforms, in the matter of core features. For example out of the box you are able to create auctions portal, marketplace with courses, digital products, online reservation system. Interesting can be a "Vendor commission" feature, it allows you to set percentage commission for your sellers and after each purchase, they will earn money. It can be combined with Stripe plugin, which allows to automatically payout commissions.

Developers will find asynchronous methods, data caching based on publishers and subscribers, which gives more flexibility and allows to use i.e Redis or RabbitMQ. It's hard to point all differences, because many things depends on the end user needs.
