Seven working-developer guides covering Shopware 6 migration, plugin development, headless architecture, the new MCP server for AI agents, and the Redis Streams setup that keeps your message queue out of the database. Written from real client projects.
Every guide here started as a real client problem I solved, not a content-mill brief or an AI-generated outline. If a guide is short, that's because the answer is short. If it's long, it's because the topic genuinely needs the depth.
Topics covered: migration (Shopware 5 to 6), performance (Redis Streams for the message queue, product import work), plugin development (your first plugin, the CLI workflow, the MCP server for AI agents), architecture (headless vs. Twig), and troubleshooting (cache, indexing, plugin conflicts).
Who these are for: Shopware merchants making architecture decisions, and the developers implementing them. If you're stuck and Stack Overflow let you down, start here.
