Summer '23 Editions: Fast, flexible, future-proof—How we’re evolving Hydrogen

It’s been just over a year since Hydrogen 1.0 shipped — and what a year. There are now thousands of merchants building with the Hydrogen and Oxygen stack, and hundreds already running in production today, processing over $1 billion in sales. We’re thrilled with the enthusiasm and feedback from the growing number of merchants, developers, and agencies that have built this community with us.

Our vision for Hydrogen is to let you spend less time building boilerplate code, and more time building your brand. We’ve made a lot of progress in pursuit of that vision in the last few months, and there’s more to come soon. Let’s take a look at where we are today, and where we’re going next.

Winter '23 Editions: Remixing Hydrogen

At Shopify, we are passionate about helping you build the best commerce experiences on the web. Which is why we are super excited to partner with the Remix team in rewriting Hydrogen from the ground up.

What’s next for Hydrogen

The February ‘23 release of Hydrogen will bring significant advancements in developer experience and performance, and a suite of new tools specific to Shopify storefronts. Much of what’s unlocked is thanks to leveraging Remix (now a part of Shopify!) as a foundation to our stack.

Today we’ll dive into the four core changes coming to Hydrogen: data loadingroutingerror handling, and mutations.

Each month, we’ll provide more details around what you can expect from Hydrogen 2, including a newly built demo store that takes full advantage of our improved architecture and expands the example set to a broad range of advanced features.
