ElasticSearch is nowadays everywhere in the ecosystem of Magento (and Shopware slowly as well). With Magento 2.4, ElasticSearch was added to the system requirements. But even though numerous developers are using ElasticSearch in production and in development, it is quite common to see that the ElasticSearch cluster to be yellow in color. Is this ok?

Recently - end of July - the Magento 2 integration of Vue Storefront 2 saw the daylight (well, it was already out there but July 20th marked the first stable release). Because of this, I felt it was a good idea to compare the integration with Magento 2 with Shopware PWA (the Vue Storefront 2 integration with Shopware 6). Apples and pears.

Few weeks back I gave a talk on the Vue Storefront 2 integration with Magento 2 (during the VSF2 India meetup organized by Aureate Labs). And last week I gave a custom in-house training on Shopware PWA. And with both events, I bumped into limitations of the overriding mechanism of VSF2. And then I found out I already had a solution for that: A Webpack plugin you could easily integrate into Nuxt.

I'm a Magento guy. And I'm a Shopware guy. And with that, both backend development and frontend development involve the browser on a regular basis. A proper development environment therefore not only involves a IDE, but browser extensions as well. Here is my favorite list:

The New Year is there, 2022 has started. And amidst all turmoil of the pandemic, I'll peak ahead to what is waiting for Yireo (and perhaps you, if Yireo has something to offer that you like).

Shopware 6 ships with Vue, so people say. But as soon as they find out that Shopware implements Vue a bit differently, they start wondering why you can't use Vue SFC (Single File Components). Well, you can. Here's what, why and how.

Having worked with Shopware 6 now a bit, it is great to say that the default storefront (based on Twig and Bootstrap) performs quite well out of the box. But we can always to a bit better. So I sat down to review the JavaScript usage of Shopware 6. Here's the result of that analysis.

This July - in the European mornings of 12th and 13th - we are organizing our first Shopware PWA online training. We are pretty excited about this, not only because Shopware PWA is a great headless solution, but also because it is in fact our first Vue Storefront Next training. Here is what is up.
