description: "Shopify announces that the open-source web framework Remix and its team are joining the company to help developers deliver lightning-fast, resilient web experiences. Remix combines multi-page and single-page strengths through a full-stack React framework with data loading and code splitting handled without requiring front-end developers to manage those backend tasks. It also emphasizes progressive enhancement, with links, buttons, and forms working before JavaScript loads, and supports edge, service-worker, and Node runtimes. Shopify will use Remix across projects including Hydrogen; Hydrogen is moving from server components to Remix's data-loading pattern for faster performance and a simpler developer experience, with ~90% of developers' code expected to remain unchanged.

**Type:** Announcement

## Summary

Shopify announces that the open-source web framework Remix and its team are joining the company to help developers deliver lightning-fast, resilient web experiences. Remix combines multi-page and single-page strengths through a full-stack React framework with data loading and code splitting handled without requiring front-end developers to manage those backend tasks. It also emphasizes progressive enhancement, with links, buttons, and forms working before JavaScript loads, and supports edge, service-worker, and Node runtimes. Shopify will use Remix across projects including Hydrogen; Hydrogen is moving from server components to Remix's data-loading pattern for faster performance and a simpler developer experience, with ~90% of developers' code expected to remain unchanged. Remix will remain independent and open-source while Shopify supports its roadmap and community.

## Context

Shopify and Remix share a goal of making it easier for developers to deliver fast, resilient web experiences. Shopify says commerce storefronts must load quickly, remain fast, and become more dynamic as buyers interact with them, while the Remix community needs sustained support for the framework's long-term roadmap.

## Approach / What changed

Remix and its team are joining Shopify, which will use Remix across several projects, including Hydrogen. Hydrogen is moving from server components to Remix's data-loading pattern to address data loading, routing, and error handling challenges, with an expected code impact of approximately 10% for developers. Remix will continue as an independent open-source framework, while Shopify provides sponsorship and first-class support across its developer platform.

## Takeaways

- Remix uses progressive enhancement: links, buttons, and forms work before JavaScript loads, supporting an immediate experience on constrained mobile connections.
- The framework is edge-first and can run on the edge, inside service workers, or in Node, enabling code to run close to users or data.
- Hydrogen 2.0 will adopt Remix's data-loading pattern instead of server components; Shopify says this should improve performance and simplify development while leaving ~90% of developer code unchanged.
