Hyvä Developers Paradise

About Hyvä Developers Paradise 2026
Hyvä Developers Paradise 2026 was a three-day community conference for developers working with Hyvä, the frontend for Magento and Adobe Commerce, held on 16–18 April 2026 at the Hard Rock Hotel Marbella in Spain. It was organised by WAM Global, presented by Mollie and powered by Meet Commerce, and followed the 2025 edition in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
The format ran from a Thursday DevExchange and pre-party, through a Friday of talks, workshops with the Hyvä team and an after-party, to a Saturday late breakfast and networking. The audience was mostly developers, agencies and technology partners building on Hyvä. The full agenda is on the official Hyvä Developers Paradise website.
Magebit at Hyvä Developers Paradise 2026
Sponsorship: Bronze Sponsor
Talk: The already done list: why your next Hyvä project should start with Venta
Speaker: Emīls Malovka, Senior Solutions Engineer and Tribe Lead Developer (Magebit)
Emīls showed how Venta, Magebit’s Hyvä-based theme, gives a project a production-tested starting point, so the team stops rebuilding the features every store needs and spends its budget on what sets the brand apart. For a merchant that means a faster launch and strong Core Web Vitals from day one.
Attended: Emīls Malovka and Rihards Ratke, who spent the DevExchange and the breaks talking to the Hyvä core team and other agencies about performance, checkout and AI-assisted workflows.
Highlights
- Hyvä POS: Willem Wigman opened with a keynote that announced Hyvä POS, a native iPad point-of-sale app that brings Hyvä to physical stores.
- Product roadmap: John Hughes, VP Product at Hyvä, walked through product updates and how the Hyvä tools fit together.
- Magewire v3: Willem Poortman presented Magewire v3 and the next steps for Hyvä Checkout.
- AI in Magento development: Vinai Kopp’s “Skills, agents and Magento – the Hyvä way” covered using AI agents for repetitive development work.
- Security and speed: Jeroen Boersma talked about rolling out Content Security Policy, and Karlijn Löwik (RUMvision) about running Core Web Vitals fixes on autopilot.
