Hydrogen Shopify

Hydrogen is Shopify's React framework for building custom, high-performance storefronts using headless commerce architecture. Developers build frontend components in React, styled with Tailwind CSS, rendered server-side via Remix, and powered by Shopify's Storefront API. Hydrogen decouples frontend from Shopify backend, providing complete design freedom while leveraging Shopify's commerce engine (inventory, payments, fulfillment). Hydrogen storefronts are deployed on Oxygen (Shopify's edge hosting), stored in Git, and iterated like any modern web app. The developer experience is familiar to React engineers: components, hooks, server/client boundaries, and TypeScript.
