FAQs
What is the best Gadget.dev alternative for Shopify apps?
There are three routes: rebuild and host the app yourselves, rebuild it on another hosted platform, or have Teifi rebuild it on Teifi Bridge and run it for you. The right one depends on whether you want your own engineers running the app after March 2027.
Is Gadget.dev shutting down?
Yes. Gadget announced on November 9, 2026 that it is winding down. Existing apps keep running until March 31, 2027, new apps cannot be started, and Gadget support runs until the end of 2026.
How do I migrate my app off Gadget.dev?
Start with the free assessment. We map every model, action and webhook in your Gadget app to Teifi Bridge, rebuild it, run old and new in parallel on live data, and switch once the results match.
How long does a migration take?
A basic Shopify app typically takes about 2 weeks. Complex integrations take 3 to 4 weeks.* Your written plan gives the range for your app. Start early: Gadget support ends at the end of 2026. *Typical ranges, not a quote. Apps with many integrations or a long data history can take longer.
Will our store go down during the switch?
Nothing switches until Teifi Bridge has run beside your Gadget app on live data and matched it. Cut-over happens in a window you choose, away from peak trading, with a written rollback to Gadget while it is still running.
How is Teifi Bridge priced?
The assessment is free, and the build is scoped in the written plan. After go-live, Teifi Bridge runs on a tiered, fixed monthly price. Gadget billed by usage, so a busier store paid more. With Teifi Bridge, selling more on Shopify does not raise your bill.
What happens to our data and history?
History is backfilled from Shopify and your systems of record, then both stacks run on the same live events before anything switches. The written plan lists anything that will not carry over.
Where will our app run?
In its own container and runtime, isolated per client, on Kubernetes infrastructure Teifi owns and runs. Traffic from other Teifi Bridge clients has no effect on your app. Self-hosting is supported.
What happens if we leave Teifi later?
Hosting transfers to your environment, with access to the application.
Can you help if we have started moving it ourselves?
Yes: the assessment starts from what you have built so far and lists what is left.
