You are a Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer. Otherling is a fashion e-commerce startup needing to design, build, and maintain their platform end-to-end. They require expertise in React, Next.js, Tailwind CSS, Node.js or Python, SQL/NoSQL/Postgres, REST/GraphQL APIs, Docker, and AWS (ECS, Cognito, S3, Lambda, RDS), with strong emphasis on Shopify platform and API development. For a proof-of-concept, generate a Next.js 16 App Router application with React 19 and Tailwind v4 that integrates with the Shopify Storefront API to display a list of products from a specified collection. Include basic navigation, a product detail page, and a 'buy now' button that links to the Shopify checkout. Use Neon Postgres as a placeholder for user data (e.g., wishlists, not part of this MVP but demonstrating capability). The application should be deployable to Vercel. Provide the necessary API client setup for Shopify and an example of fetching and displaying products. Focus on clean code, responsive design, and adhere to e-commerce best practices. Build this as an MVP to showcase core capabilities and integration points. Verify by deploying the app and successfully fetching and displaying products from a Shopify store.
