Introducing ShopForge: The Fully Integrated Development & Hosting Platform for Shopware
A Unified Development and Hosting Platform for Shopware 6
Shopware teams have been forced to assemble their stack piece by piece -- local environments, CI/CD tools, staging servers, cloud accounts, deployment scripts, monitoring. It works… until it doesn’t.
ShopForge replaces that fragmentation with a single, orchestrated platform built specifically for Shopware 6.
Launch fully configured development environments in seconds. Promote to staging with automated testing. Deploy to production on OVHcloud, AWS, or Azure with integrated CI/CD and managed infrastructure -- all from one system designed for performance, scalability, and operational control.
This isn’t another plugin. It’s not just hosting. And it’s not just DevOps automation.
ShopForge is the missing infrastructure layer the Shopware ecosystem has been waiting for.
The Problem
Building and deploying Shopware stores today means stitching together a fragmented set of tools:
Local development: Docker, DDEV, or Vagrant — each with their own quirks and setup time
CI/CD: GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Jenkins — configured and maintained separately
Hosting: A traditional hosting provider or managed server — with manual deployment processes
Monitoring: Third-party APM tools, log aggregators, and alerting services — bolted on after the fact
For a single developer, this patchwork is manageable. For agencies managing multiple client projects with teams of developers, it's a constant source of friction, inconsistency, and wasted time.
And for newcomers or merchants who just want to try Shopware? The technical barrier is simply too high.
The ShopForge Solution
ShopForge replaces the patchwork with a single, integrated platform. Here's how it works:
Pick a template. Choose from pre-configured Shopware 6 environments — a clean install, a demo store, a headless setup with Shopware Frontends, or a B2B configuration.
Launch. Your fully configured Shopware store is live in under 10 seconds — complete with a dev environment, Git repository, and CI/CD pipeline.
Develop. Use the Cloud IDE (VS Code in your browser), Shopware CLI, Composer, and database tools. Push changes and watch automated tests run.
Deploy. Promote changes from dev → staging → production with confidence. Zero-downtime deployments, instant rollbacks, and real-time monitoring included.
That's it. No servers to provision. No CI/CD to configure. No monitoring to bolt on.
Full SDLC — Out of the Box
What sets ShopForge apart from traditional hosting is the complete software development lifecycle:
Multi-environment pipelines — Dev, staging, and production environments for every project, with promotion workflows
Built-in CI/CD — Automated builds, tests (PHPUnit, PHPStan), and deployments triggered by Git pushes
PR preview environments — Every pull request gets its own live Shopware instance for review
Git workflows — Branch-per-feature development with GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket integration
Monitoring & observability — Real-time dashboards, logging, alerting, and resource tracking
Zero-downtime deployments — Deploy to production without interrupting your customers and protect revenue during peak traffic events
Instant rollbacks — Revert to any previous deployment in seconds
Enterprise Hosting on AWS, Azure, and OVH
ShopForge provides enterprise-grade hosting on auto-scaling Kubernetes infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and OVH:
Up to 99.9% High-availability, production-grade infrastructure uptime SLA
Auto-scaling that handles flash sales and Black Friday traffic
Automatic SSL for every store
DDoS protection
Architected for GDPR, CCPA, and PCI-compliance
Daily backups and disaster recovery
Open Architecture. Zero Lock-In.
ShopForge is built on open, cloud-native technologies and standard Kubernetes infrastructure — so you’re never locked into proprietary hosting or opaque systems.
Most teams choose the managed ShopForge platform for its instant performance, integrated CI/CD, and operational simplicity.
For organizations with specific compliance, sovereignty, or infrastructure policies, the architecture remains portable across AWS, Azure, OVHcloud, or private Kubernetes environments — preserving long-term strategic flexibility without sacrificing platform capabilities.
Instant Preview Environments
Every ShopForge template can be launched as a free ephemeral store. These are fully functional Shopware 6 sites that last for 6 hours — plenty of time for a demo, a test, or a training session. No credit card, no sign-up friction, no strings attached.
It's the fastest way to get hands-on with Shopware 6.
What's Next
We're working with Shopware agencies and plugin developers to expand our template library, build out partnership programs, and build strategic integrations. If you're a Shopware developer, agency, or merchant interested in ShopForge, we'd love to hear from you.
