Victoria Garland was a Shopify theme agency. Custom app dev? Off the table. The setup alone (auth, database, webhooks, hosting) ate 4-5 months before a single feature got built. Then they found Gadget. First app: 2 months. Second: under a month. Third — JourneyGlow, syncing Shopify + Google Maps into an interactive storefront widget, went concept to production in 1 week. Now custom apps are 50% of their revenue. "Our apps are both born and survive basically because of Gadget." Alex Massaad, CTO Read the full story → gadget.dev/blog/victoria-gar…

b/ackcode had never built a Shopify app before. Then a luxury watch client changed the scope halfway through the project — and gave them 3 months to connect a complex 3D configurator to Shopify. They used Gadget to get there. → 70% fewer development hours → 300 retail locations connected to online shopping → A production-ready Shopify integration shipped on time → 2+ years of operation with minimal maintenance Customers can now start designing a $20k+ watch in-store, save the configuration, and finish buying online — or do the reverse. And for b/ackcode, one seemingly impossible Shopify project opened up an entirely new line of business. gadget.dev/blog/blackcode-ga…

What happens when @Shopify app development goes from months to weeks? For Tanmay Kejriwal, it turned a side project into an agency. After switching to Gadget, he went from wrestling with OAuth, databases, and deployment to shipping production-ready apps 5x faster. → Projects went from 2–3 months to 2–3 weeks → Co-founded Shopvana with more inbound than they could take on → Grew Editify to hundreds of paying customers, then sold it → Ran apps for months without touching the infrastructure Less time maintaining the stack. More time building things merchants will actually pay for. Read the full story 👇 gadget.dev/blog/shopvana-suc…

DotDev this year was a party! (Seriously, the Shopify block party was massive!) We put together our highlights from the main stage talks covering Shopify's Universal Commerce Protocol, Catalogue Enrichment, and Agentic storefronts. gadget.dev/blog/3-developer-…

Bullseye Agency had a BigCommerce integration with 15,000 products and a Google Sheets script taking 8 hrs to sync images. They rebuilt it with Gadget. Same sync now takes 1 hour. Full case study → gadget.dev/blog/bullseye-cas…

Exactly, every integration adds another thing to maintain. Keeping it all in one place means less context switching and fewer moving pieces.

Branch Furniture needed real-time shipping estimates on their Shopify storefront, but their first server-side approach kept hitting roadblocks. With Gadget, they shipped a production-ready app in under 4 weeks, complete with scheduled updates, automatic Shopify sync, and an internal audit dashboard. The result? 2× faster development and fewer support tickets. Read the full story 👇 gadget.dev/blog/branch-furni…

What happens when you cut Shopify app development time by 60%? For Zyber: • $100,000+ saved for clients • 7 apps shipped • More custom projects they previously had to turn away See how they did it with Gadget 👇 gadget.dev/blog/zyber-case-s…

Most AI support agents break down the moment a question isn't answered in the docs. We built Gizmo to go deeper. Each support ticket gets its own isolated sandbox with access to our codebase, debugging tools, logs, traces, and analytics. So agents can investigate issues, not just link documentation. Human-reviewed. Context-aware. Built for real support. How it works 👇 gadget.dev/blog/how-to-build…

Traffic spike during a flash sale? Your app shouldn’t fall over because of a rate limit. Gadget’s Surge feature lets apps temporarily scale past their normal limits during high-traffic events like BFCM without changing plans. Opt in, scale automatically, and only pay for the extra compute.

Shopify just introduced a major upgrade to webhooks in developer preview. Instead of receiving massive payloads for every event, you can now define a GraphQL query and receive only the fields your app actually needs. Less compute. Less processing. Lower costs.

Spent weeks wrestling with OAuth and Heroku just to ship a simple Shopify app? There’s a better way. When Tanmay (@tkejr_) tried building his first Shopify app for a friend, it turned into weeks of setup, scattered docs, and infra headaches. Then he switched to Gadget. → Built apps 5x faster → Went from solo dev to running an agency → Even sold one of his apps → No more managing backend infrastructure Read the full case study: gadget.dev/blog/shopvana-suc…

Postgres read metrics hitting terabytes? That’s usually normal. But if a small number of queries are reading disproportionate amounts of data, it may be time to optimize. Watch how Postgres handles reads vs. writes and why writes are often 1000x smaller👇

Seeing “shark fins” in your performance graphs? 🦈 That’s a classic Node.js Out of Memory (OOM) error. Watch how we spot these errors, track “JS stack trace” in logs, and debug memory issues efficiently.

We set out to cut costs on observability and ended up rebuilding our incident response workflow. By using agent skills to migrate our stack to Grafana & ClickHouse: - Our monthly observability bill dropped ~60% ($20k → $8k) - Root Cause Analysis investigations went from days to hours - Any engineer can use agents to run our 8-phase RCA playbook Read the full blog post to see how we did it: gadget.dev/blog/how-we-accid…
