Nix CI service Garnix will shut down hosted offering on July 15, 2026 as team joins Shopify

Garnix says its hosted Nix CI service will shut down on July 15, 2026, as the team joins Shopify. The company is open sourcing the Garnix codebase to help users self-host or create shared community instances, and will delete all user data and build artifacts on the shutdown date.

The move highlights the fragility of niche developer infrastructure services, especially when small teams are acquired or absorbed by larger companies. Open sourcing the code may soften the impact, but users relying on hosted CI infrastructure will need to migrate quickly and may lose convenient capabilities such as managed Mac builds.
