I wondered 「Shopify のインフラは何を使ってるんだろう？」 (“What infrastructure does Shopify use?”) and found out it’s Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

Background: Want to select a server for hosting a Shopify API application

To select a server for hosting a web application that uses the Shopify API, I wondered 「Shopify のインフラは何を使ってるんだろう？」 (“What infrastructure does Shopify use?”) and investigated.

Shopify Uses Google Cloud Platform (GCP)

The Shopify engineering blog states that their infrastructure uses Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

• Official blog: Shopify's Infrastructure Collaboration with Google – Shopify Engineering

You can also see that Shopify uses GCP from Google Cloud Platform (GCP) use cases and examples of services affected during outages.

• Google Cloud for Retail: Supporting retail business transformation | Google Cloud Blog
• Peak performance: How retailers used Google Cloud during Black Friday/Cyber Monday | Google Cloud Blog
• Google reveals detailed information about major cloud outage - ZDNet Japan

That’s all from the Gemba, where I confirmed that Shopify runs on Google Cloud Platform infrastructure.
