Mission Statement

Modern Dev/Test/Live workflows for serious Shopware team

ShopForge is the developer and cloud operations platform that abstracts away the infrastructure complexity of modern ecommerce. Powered by DevPanel’s battle-tested orchestration engine, ShopForge delivers a seamless, end-to-end operational layer for Shopware 6—combining instant cloud development environments, automated CI/CD pipelines, and multi-environment deployment safety into a single intuitive platform.

We believe ecommerce teams shouldn't have to choose between proprietary vendor lock-in and high-overhead DevOps management. Our mission is to give agencies and growth-minded brands absolute cloud sovereignty—allowing them to run enterprise-grade Shopware deployments on their own cloud infrastructure with total control and zero friction.

The Problem We Solve

Ecommerce teams need more than traditional hosting. 

Building and maintaining an enterprise Shopware store today means managing a fragmented patchwork of tools: local Docker or DDEV configurations, standalone CI/CD services, manual pipeline scripts, and legacy "black box" hosting providers. When a critical traffic spike hits or a plugin update breaks, traditional hosting leaves teams digging through raw server logs.

For Shopware agencies, maintaining environmental consistency across dozens of client projects while handling database migrations and code promotions is a constant operational drain.

ShopForge replaces this fragmented toolchain with an integrated operations layer. We eliminate the operational complexity so developers can focus strictly on building high-converting ecommerce experiences, while operations teams enjoy absolute deployment safety, atomic rollbacks, and instant environmental scaling.

How ShopForge Works
 

Cloud Infrastructure Abstraction (BYOC)

With ShopForge, you bring your own cloud. Our platform allows you to deploy, manage, and scale Shopware 6 directly on your own AWS, Azure, DigitalOcean, or OVH accounts. You maintain absolute ownership of your data, infrastructure economics, and compliance standards, while we handle the operational orchestration.

Battle-Tested Cloud Orchestration

ShopForge is powered by DevPanel—the enterprise SaaS engine built for multi-cloud application management. By leveraging DevPanel's proven Kubernetes automation, environment cloning, and self-service infrastructure capabilities, ShopForge provides a rock-solid operational framework explicitly tailored to the Shopware ecosystem.

Tailored for Agency Workflows

ShopForge standardizes how agencies build, launch, and support client stores. From sandboxed preview environments for fast client approvals to automated build sequences, we give agencies a unified dashboard to control their entire portfolio, slash support burdens, and unlock predictable recurring infrastructure revenue. .

                            What the Platform Delivers

For Agencies & Development Leads

 

  • Instant Onboarding: Spin up localized Cloud development environments pre-configured with VS Code, the Shopware CLI, Git, and Composer in seconds.

  • Automated CI/CD: Push code and let the platform handle dependency resolution, asset compilation, and schema migrations automatically.

  • Multi-Environment Safety: Create isolated dev, test, and staging environments that perfectly clone production data for risk-free QA.

  • Zero-Downtime Releases: Leverage automated blue/green deployments and near-instant rollbacks to safeguard revenue during holiday spikes.

For Ecommerce Brands & Operations Managers

  • Cloud Sovereignty: Avoid proprietary black boxes and expensive hosting markups by running your digital storefront entirely within your own cloud account.

  • Operational Continuity: Protect checkout reliability and eliminate failed deployments with enterprise-grade release coordination and staging workflows.

  • Elastic Auto-Scaling: Handle unpredictable traffic surges smoothly with automated, containerized infrastructure that expands and contracts based on real-time demand.
