A headless software architecture decouples the frontend, or the “head”, from the backend. This separation allows developers to manage the UI layer independently of the backend logic and data management.

Hydrogen is Shopify’s open-source headless framework for building custom storefronts. It’s React-based and is focused on performance and flexible UI components.

Ben Sehl is a Senior Product Lead at Shopify where he works on Hydrogen and the storefront developer experience. He joins the show to talk about his engineering background, the motivation for creating Hydrogen, Hydrogen versus the Liquid templating language, and much more.
