Shopify Outage 2025: Rise of the Commerce Kaiju
Blog post from Speedscale
A dramatic fictional account portrays a major Shopify outage as a “Commerce Kaiju” that freezes checkouts, disrupts product pages, causes cart abandonment, overwhelms support teams, and forces engineers into an urgent recovery effort. Beneath the monster-movie framing, the piece argues that the incident reflects preventable weaknesses in software quality practices, particularly insufficient early testing, unreliable staging environments, and a lack of chaos testing. After engineers restore service, the central lesson is that teams should shift testing earlier in development and test frequently to identify failure modes before changes reach production.
