Great to see Next Gen Events in the stable API!
It's been huge for Ablestar, helping us keep the data in our Bulk Editor in sync for merchants.
Thank you @kinngh and the whole events team!
Next Gen Events are now stable in 2026-10!
Choose your triggers, shape your payloads with GraphQL, and filter before delivery.
During developer preview, partners have already cut their daily deliveries:
- @StoqApp: 6M → 500K
- @ablestarco : 10M → 200K
- @zapiet : 500K → 10K
- Stockful : 136K → 50K
- @abrapromotions : 1.7M → 20K
That's millions of deliveries their apps no longer need to process. Less compute spent handling irrelevant updates, less filtering logic to maintain, and simpler apps to build.

The podcast episode we recorded in Toronto before DotDev is now live. We discussed Sidekick extensions, how things have changed over the years and AI (of course) Thanks @martincox100 for hosting, @TSupportHeroes, and to everyone who attended!

For The Shopify App Show Live on Monday in Toronto, there were too many guests we wanted to involve, so with @TSupportHeroes we have lined up 8(!) of the most interesting people we could find from around the world.
There are a few people who have been popular guests on the podcast, plus some new faces from different parts of the Shopify ecosystem and representing 7 different countries.
Can't wait!
Can't wait to see everyone in Toronto next week!
Altera will also be sponsoring #BrightworkVol01, huge shout out to @TRPage_dev @dear_trudence for organizing everything on such short notice!
Only downside of the trip is that my flight is right during the World Cup finals ðŸ˜
Since we added a Sidekick extension for Altera it's quickly become the most-used AI surface for the app. A few thoughts so far:
- Allowing Sidekick to search your docs is great. It's used a lot and you can analyze what people are searching for
- The MCP and the CLI are more sticky, once a user starts doing imports/exports with those they're more likely to come back. These are more often used for repeatable tasks like syncing metafield definitions or translations
- It would be nice if Sidekick could accept file uploads and pass them on to the app. We could make a really nice import flow from that
Overall really pleased with the adoption so far and we're putting the final touches on a Sidekick extension for Ablestar Bulk Editor
I wrote some notes on things we learned migrating to expiring access tokens and how we coordinate refreshes across different parallel processes danielbeck.io/posts/migratin…
I've added keyword report emails to AppNavigator now that SASI seems to have gone away.
We were already tracking a bunch of the data but now it's available as a daily email report.
ALT Shopify App Store keyword report to replace SASI
To set them up find the app on appnavigator.io/ and click on 'Follow app'. Then you can add additional search keywords to watch for.
Just released our first Sidekick extension, this one for Altera. Makes it super easy to configure new exports, get formatting help and manage jobs.
Also interested in the adoption of this compared to our MCP and CLI. This will help us prioritize integrations for other apps.
Sad to hear Mantle is winding down but nice to see @ShopDevAlliance stepping up with an event in Toronto
Mantle's Techtonic is officially canceled.
@ShopDevAlliance is stepping up. Hosting our own in-person event has been on our roadmap for a while, and this is the moment.
It's our first one, spots will be limited, and we won't try to replace Techtonic. But we'll get the community together and it'll be a good one.

Open to sponsors too, just DM me.

If you’re an experienced Shopify Developer looking for community, honest answers only, why haven’t you applied to @ShopDevAlliance?
This is a huge advancement in Shopify webhooks 🎉 Filtering, no more REST API field names, additional fields, custom responses.. I love it 🚀
I put together a list of common issues we've run into with BFS reviews. Onboarding, Contextual Save Bar, CLS, all the fun ones...

A big thanks to @ShopifyDevs for the Shopify Builders Skateboard! My kids were jealous I didn't leave it at home but it looks great in the office!

I got my first @raycast extension published! It lets you quickly search and pull up Shopify developer docs, including GraphQL queries.
Big thanks to @TRPage_dev for introducing me to Raycast and to @approxhuman for inspiring me with his extension to search the Polaris docs
I wrote a few notes on the extension at danielbeck.io/posts/raycast-…
And you can install it at raycast.com/daniel_beck/shop…
