Hi i need a shop software where i can offer products from different vendors. e.g. one could buy a watch from 3 different vendors for different prices. Amazon does this too. (see http://www.amazon.de/gp/offer-listing/B0031SZRZG/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new)
Are there any plugins for that in Spree?
Yep spree has plugin for spree multi vendor ,spree multi store as well spree multi tenant

I would like to start a new e-commerce platform build with Shopify/Hydrogen (React) an I'm still not sure about the back-end side (maybe ExpressJS + DynamoDB).
The issue is that I want to host everything on AWS, I am new there and I don't really know in which direction should I go.
Basically the platform is created for selling fishing stuff but it should also support the drop-shipping context, where other companies can sell their own products there.
Can anyone help me with a path for achieving this? What are the right steps?
Regarding headless storefronts you have multiple options with hosting, starting from Gatsby Cloud, through Netlify, Vercel or Amazon Amplify in case you want to host it on AWS.
I will assume that "drop-shipping context" would mean you want to become a some sort of a marketplace? Where other merchants would list their products and upon purchase handle the shipping themselves? You can organize that through using free open-source CMS - Strapi in a manner where it acts as a PIM (product information management system), basically you will create users in admin panel and allow them to put products into CMS and then pull and publish them to Shopify storefront (through Admin API you can even create products and add them to an order on the fly), also through webhooks that Shopify trigger on the purchase event you will be able to send a notification to a dropshipper.
Regarding Hydrogen it's pretty early in the making so I would suggest to take a look on React-powered boilerplates out on Github and it will boost implementation speed significantly.
I have a site developed in core .Net with SQL server Database. Now i want to redesign my site using Sitecore. How the data/content can be migrated from SQL database to Sitecore CMS?
Sitecore has released the Data Exchange Framework. This tool allows you to sync content from third party application. Example:
Read contacts from a CRM and create contacts in xDB
Update a contact in CRM using information from a contact in xDB
3.Create items in Sitecore that represent products in a catalog
So, you can easily use this tool to import your data from sql to sitecore. You only have to develop the different logic that requires to translate the data from the SQL to the template of your new instance.
Here is the link where you can have the 2 released version:
V1.0: https://dev.sitecore.net/en/Downloads/Data_Exchange_Framework/1x/Data_Exchange_Framework_10.aspx
V1.1: https://dev.sitecore.net/en/Downloads/Data_Exchange_Framework/1x/Data_Exchange_Framework_11.aspx
From the links, Sitecore has already specified the released note, required documentation about the API and so on.
my requirement is to sync third party e-commerce systems(IFS) products into sitecore. Is there a way that i can extend sitecore web service with new method where i can get the products and create them in sitecore? or is there a better way to do this.
I want to create that as sitecore module, so that we can install it on any sitecore website we have to integrate with that e-commerce systems(IFS).

Any suggestions will be appreciated.
You could potentially use the Item Web API (PDF link) that Sitecore comes with, or even roll your own web service that you write and call the native Sitecore API. If you roll your own, you could expose it as a WCF service, or a Web API or any other approach. The service you found and referenced is quite old and not really designed to be extended.
Another approach to what you are trying to do (merge/integration another system into Sitecore) would be to write your own item data provider. Here are some links on that topic:
Integrating External Data Sources
An introduction to Sitecore data providers
The Black Art of Sitecore Custom Data Providers
Please take a look on the Sitecore Commerce Connect product. It has been designed for such kind of tasks, see chapter 2.1.7 Product Synchronization:
Product Synchronization
Connect has its own product data model and a
Product Synchronization service layer for exchanging product data with
one or more external systems. The responsibility of the Product
Synchronization service layer is to manage two-way synchronization of
essential product data. The goal is to synchronize only the data that
is needed to satisfy the most common e-commerce scenarios. In
particular cases, the model can be extended. For more information on
the default scenarios that are supported, see the developer guide.
You should consider using a Custom Data Provider, it's for fit for the task at hand and will allow you to also manage the external data in a similar way to native Sitecore Items, inc caching and publishing.
There is more information in the Integrating External Data
with Sitecore document on SDN and and Nick Wesselmans article on The Black Art of Sitecore Custom Data Providers is a go to reference.
Also these blog posts provide more details on read-only data providers, which is most likely what you will want to use for external data:

I have tested emm (enterprise mobility management), and it works well on normal situation of multiple tenants. The tenant id is designed in database. The tenant id is added to form field. But how can I design different layout or theme for different tenant? From web structure, seems I could not figure out how to configure different themes for different tenant.
By default same EMM theme will be applied to all EMM tenants.but you can apply different theme for different EMM tenants.
for that use below the document and you can change the theme tenant wise.

Is it possible to create a product on amazon programmatically using the api? I would ideally like to create a product using the spree commerce CMS and at the end of the day sync products between the CMS and an online amazon store.
On the Amazon side, you can create products using the Amazon Marketplace Web Service, in particular the feeds API (code samples here).
On the Spree side, you can make this happen by either writing an extension, or by using Spree's middleware product (Wombat) and creating a custom integration for it.
Spree is pushing hard for more integrations that have broad appeal, and syncing with Amazon MWS definitely fits the bill, so you may be able to contact them and get some help doing these things (my company is a Spree partner, and we're currently working on an open source integration to a popular CRM tool for another seller).
