Shopify used Cloudflare Workers for Platforms and Bot Management to secure its global e-commerce infrastructure and provide safe extensibility for its merchants.
The challenge
Shopify faced the challenge of achieving complex, scalable technology for its massive merchant base while maintaining simplicity. The organization needed a way to manage complex infrastructure and defend against increasingly intense automated bot attacks that evolve every year.
The solution
Shopify implemented Workers for Platforms to provide a safe, isolated compute runtime for per-tenant extensibility. The solution also leverages Cloudflare bot prevention tools to identify and stop automated attacks at the edge.
The results
Shopify achieved safe extensibility at scale, allowing its engineering teams to focus on merchant experience rather than infrastructure management. The implementation of bot prevention tools successfully mitigates complex new threats and stops automated attacks across its global platform.
