- Vue.js Component Framework
Since its founding in 2016, Vuetify has rapidly grown to become one of the leading component libraries for creating powerful Vue applications. Led by founder John Leider, the Vuetify teams' meticulous focus on creating systems that are intuitive and easy-to-use has allowed them to quickly realize great success in their space.
But in early 2020, Vuetify had a problem. Their online store was completely integrated into Shopify's back-end platform, and getting this API to communicate with the front-end of their website was far too slow and required too many queries.
On top of that, due to Vuetify's rapid expansion in recent years, they were now managing all different kinds of documents, affiliate links, and sponsors in their original code base. This was quickly becoming sub-optimal. Vuetify needed to find an API that matched their appreciation for intuitive design, and integrated all the flexible features they required. After evaluating their options, nothing seemed like the right combination of those values for Vuetify, except for Cosmic.
It was literally 10 to 15 minutes from taking the SDK, to getting the data I needed, to consuming it. We cut our server response time down from 300-400 ms to about 50 ms. Instead of needing to query the Shopify API, now we only need to query Cosmic. The baseline just works out-of-the-box, and there's considerable more information and documentation if you need it.
