Summary
This post details the development and implementation of Möbius and Shopify Front End (SFE) to unify Shopify's edge network.

SFE acts as a unified routing layer behind Möbius, dispatching traffic to applications and services. The initiative standardizes traffic paths, simplifies observability, and automates edge configuration for application owners.
