ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Hear from Ilya Grigorik at Shopify about the latest with Hydrogen, Shopify’s new React-based custom storefronts framework.
At Shopify Unite 2021 last summer, Tobi Lütke demo'd a new quick-start toolkit for store development called Hydrogen.
It looked cool, seeing Tobi demo it made me want it, but truthfully I didn't understand it. Should I have FOMO? Because I think I do.
We're going full tech nerd in this one, my friends. This episode is for the developers or those major retailers thinking about their store's infrastructure.
Ilya Grigorik, Principal Engineer at Shopify, joins us to discuss this new tooling and give us some insight into Shopify's vision for the future of commerce.
