Products that do what Merchant, a lightweight ecommerce back end on Cloudflare Workers does
Every time I had an idea for a small online shop, it felt harder than it should be. The tools were either big and expensive, or they locked you into their way of doing things. I wanted something simpler. Something I could launch and manage myself. And to be 100% honest I wanted to prove it could be done. All I really needed was an API that handled the boring parts of a store and then stayed out of the way. Products, inventory, carts, checkout, orders, etc... So I built Merchant. Merchant is an open-source e-commerce backend that runs on Cloudflare Workers. It uses D1 for the database and…

Hey HN. I'm Matt White, co-founder of Commerce, along with Nathan Martin (centipixel) and Daniel Newman (over-engineered). Commerce is a drop-in e-commerce platform for any website from a single line of JavaScript. You can find us here: https://static.tools/commerce With this single include, you get a shopping cart, account registration and login (Email, Google, Facebook, etc), live shipping quotes, invoicing, and the ability to sell complex product variants (composite/configurable products, delta pricing, fractional pricing, wholesale pricing, etc). Much of this is…

Hello HN, Lucas here. I’ve been working with BigQuery for ~5 years, mostly in large (petabyte-scale) environments. Over time we ended up spending a lot of money and engineering effort just trying to understand where costs were coming from, why and how to optimize them. At some point we decided to stop, leverage all our past experience and spend a full cycle building tooling focused on cost visibility and optimization. The main goal was to regain ownership of cost data and make it possible to understand our cost structure in under a minute, while aligning the views of engineering and FinOps…

Hi guys, I've open-sourced the ecommerce project I build for my business. I've spent a lot of time on choosing the right libraries and decided to go with NodeJs and React. I'm sharing the project with you, and hope it will give you some ideas so you can build your ecommerce project faster. [Demo] https://demo.evershop.io/ [Github] https://github.com/evershopcommerce/evershop Feel free to share/contact if you have any feedback or questions. Thanks

Hello everyone. I'm a relatively new developer and I started my first project to go full production recently. It is a directory of payment processors and payment service providers. It's free to use and gives detailed info on their pricing, business model, supported business types, available countries, prohibited businesses and high risk business support. So far only 40 have been added with more to come. And I allow processors to contact me so that they're details can be added to the database. I'll eventually automate this and add verification the months to come. I hope you'll find it useful.…

Hey HN: Kaveh here, founder of https://www.usage.ai/ We help companies drive down AWS, GCP, and Azure spend. Why? Because the way it's done now is a pain. DevOps and Software Engineers end up spending time managing costs rather than focusing on business problems. I have been building Usage AI for almost 4 years now (4 year anniversary in 1 month from now!) with an incredible group of founding people. We started as a product just to help lower AWS EC2 costs, and now we do all major AWS services (such as RDS, OpenSearch, ElastiCache, and Redshift with more on the way) and other…

Hi HN! I’m working on Agora, an AI search engine for e-commerce products. Excited to launch the Agora API that helps other developers embed shopping experiences into their app. We provide endpoints to search, purchase, and track products sold on 25,000 different Shopify and WooCommerce stores. Early customers are building social shopping apps, marketplaces, and AI shopping assistants. I’d love your feedback!

Hey HN: Kaveh here, the founder of https://www.usage.ai/ We launched a new free tool to help engineers understand their AWS spend. Why? Because the way it's done now is a pain. DevOps and Software Engineers end up end up becoming cloud accountants or end up forking over a big % of their AWS bill for a tool to understand costs rather than focusing on business problems. Previous to founding Usage, I worked on high-performance computing research at JP Morgan Chase and as a software engineer at a number of smaller startups. Here's how this new tool works: It's fully self-serve and…

Hello again everyone! I’m posting again to say thanks for the feedback, comments and insights on my last post. It was great feedback and I really appreciate it. The support I have received from the open source community the past few weeks has been astounding. I’ve taken all of the feedback to heart and we’ve done a lot of work to improve the documentation the past few weeks (it's still work in progress) on top of adding more features to the demo! I wanted to post an update for the most recent release - v0.90.0 - which brings support for Angular 20 and improved support for Shopify! For devs…

Hi HN, We just released a public beta of e-commerce capabilities for AI agents — aimed at developers building shopping agents or personal assistants. It’s early and buggy, but we’d love your feedback. Try a live demo here: https://showcase.octogen.ai/stylist --- ## Why we built this We believe the biggest *technical* bottleneck in building consumer e-commerce agents is fragmented product data and inconsistent schemas across online stores. So we created a high-fidelity yet unified interface for *e-commerce catalog + checkout*, regardless of the underlying platform. --- ## What…

I built a next.js product catalog entirely on open source modular e-commerce and Vercel's serverless functions. You own the data, the commerce logic is integrated into your project and run through your own APIs. This is a showcase for our Modular way of approaching e-commerce rather than approaching it through Shopify or commercetools APIs. You can follow the twitter thread here - https://twitter.com/RiqwanMThamir/status/1671426435813179394 Looking forward to hearing your thoughts :)

Back in April I left the Agents team at Cloudflare because even though I loved the work, I always had the drive to build the apps rather than the libraries. I felt like nobody was building the ideas that I wanted to exist. My biggest drive was wanting my agents to run fully on “the cloud” yet having them on all my machines at the same time. So I ended up building GSV, fully open source. GSV acts as a cloud computer by having a remote file system and a shell environment and trying very hard to pretend to be something close to Unix. There’s a kernel that handles all the primitive operations,…

Hi, I'm extremely excited to introduce dEv-Commerce. By creating a headless E-Commerce platform, we're making E-Commerce sites more flexible, scalable, and improving performance. All in one simple API. E-Commerce sites are hard to build and existing solutions aren't fit for purpose. We've turned that on its head so that E-Commerce sites are easy to build and fit for purpose. https://devcommerce.co.uk
