A few months back, I was doing some scraping for e-commerce and absolutely shocked at the number of Shopify properties (easy to tell from robots, sitemap, or DNS).
I remember taking note of Shopify's stock price at the time and having a discussion with another member of the team. All I can say is I regret not investing.
- dehrmann 2y agoI still run uMatrix, and with paranoid settings, you become very aware of who hosts the web. Yes, Shopify is a biggie in the space.
- a_wild_dandan 2y agoAre there any other companies which surprised you with their ubiquity?
- dehrmann 2y agoMaybe not surprised, but Squarespace, Wix, Bigcommerce, AWS, Cloudflare.
- iamacyborg 2y agoAnother lens to look at Shopify is through the publicly traded email marketing company Klaviyo, which tends to be the default email platform for smb’s. They’ve basically built a $10bn business purely from serving shopify customers.
