Quick：面向AI时代的内部托管平台

Shopify attracts people who love to tinker. Building has never been the bottleneck here. People are always making things: prototypes, dashboards, little tools for their teams. The hard part was getting those things in front of anyone else.

Shopify 吸引了许多 热爱捣鼓技术的人。 在这里，构建东西从来不是瓶颈。人们总是在做各种东西：原型、仪表板、为团队开发的小工具。困难的部分是如何把这些东西展示给其他人看。

Our solution to this was Quick: an internal platform where you drop in a folder of HTML and assets and get back a secure URL that only Shopify employees can see. No frameworks, deploy pipelines, or config files. You just upload a folder and your site is live. If you need a database, AI, file storage, or websockets, those are just an API call away.

我们对此的解决方案是 Quick：一个内部平台，你只需放入一个包含 HTML 和资源的文件夹，就能获得一个只有 Shopify 员工才能看到的安全 URL。无需框架、部署管道或配置文件。你只需上传一个文件夹，你的网站就上线了。如果你需要数据库、AI、文件存储或 websockets，只需一个 API 调用即可实现。

We launched Quick in July 2025, and the timing turned out to be perfect. AI had just gotten good enough that people across every discipline, not just us engineers, could generate a working website from a prompt. Quick gave them somewhere to put it. AI wasn't why we built it, but it's a big part of why it took off.

我们在 2025 年 7 月推出了 Quick，时机恰到好处。AI 刚刚发展到足够好的程度，使得各个学科的人，而不仅仅是我们工程师，都能通过提示词生成一个可运行的网站。Quick 为他们提供了托管这些网站的地方。AI 并不是我们构建它的原因，但它是它得以迅速普及的重要原因。

Today, Quick hosts more than 50,000 sites across Shopify. Over half the company has created at least one. Everything from dashboards that teams rely on daily to a multiplayer mountain-climbing game that nobody asked for but everybody plays.

如今，Quick 在 Shopify 内部托管了超过 50,000 个网站。公司里有一半以上的员工至少创建过一个。这些网站涵盖了从团队日常依赖的仪表板，到没人要求但大家都在玩的多人大型登山游戏等方方面面。

This is how we got here.

这就是我们走到这一步的经过。

Quick started with the idea of finding the simplest way to put HTML files somewhere and serve them. And what's simpler than every "site" being just a folder of assets in a Google Cloud Storage bucket?

Quick 的初衷是寻找一种最简单的方法，把 HTML 文件放在某个地方并提供服务。还有什么比让每个“网站”都只是 Google Cloud Storage 存储桶中的一个资源文件夹更简单的呢？
