Shipit! Presents: Performance Tips from the Storefront Renderer Team

The Storefront Renderer is a server-side application that loads a Shopify merchant's storefront Liquid theme, along with the data required to serve the request (for example product data, collection data, inventory information, and images), and returns the HTML response back to your browser. On average, server response times for the Storefront Renderer are four times faster than the implementation it replaced.
Our blog post, How Shopify Reduced Storefront Response Times with a Rewrite generated great discussions and questions. This event looks to answer those questions and dives deeper into the technical details of how we made the Storefront Renderer engine faster.
​​​​​​​During this event, you will learn how we:
- optimized data access
- implemented caching layers
- reduced memory allocations
