The app audit: what every installed app costs you
The monthly fee is the cost everyone can see and the smallest one. An app also costs you data reach, theme surface area and a dependency nobody wrote down.
The Black Friday runbook
A readiness checklist is what you do in October. A runbook is what someone opens at 2am with a phone in one hand and no time to think.

The migration dry run: rehearsing a cutover
How to rehearse a migration cutover: run the full sequence on real data, time every step, and practice the rollback before launch night.

Theme app extensions: apps that do not touch your code
What Shopify theme app extensions are, how they differ from pasted snippets, and why “does it use one?” should shape which apps you buy.
Theme CI: testing a Shopify theme before it ships
Lint, preview and a performance budget, run on every pull request. Three stages, all of them built from tools Shopify already ships.
