The OP’s error specifies a host (my-store.myshopify.com).
The error I encountered is the same in all respects except that no domain is specified.

My solution may help others who are drawn here by the title “Error: getaddrinfo EAI_AGAIN”

I encountered the error when trying to serve a NodeJs & VueJs app from a different VM from where the code was developed originally.

The file vue.config.js read :

 module.exports = {
   devServer: {
     host: 'tstvm01',
     port: 3030,
   },
 };

When served on the original machine the start up output is :

App running at:
- Local:   http://tstvm01:3030/ 
- Network: http://tstvm01:3030/

Using the same settings on a VM tstvm07 got me a very similar error to the one the OP describes:

 INFO  Starting development server...
 10% building modules 1/1 modules 0 activeevents.js:183                              
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
      ^

Error: getaddrinfo EAI_AGAIN
    at Object._errnoException (util.js:1022:11)
    at errnoException (dns.js:55:15)
    at GetAddrInfoReqWrap.onlookup [as oncomplete] (dns.js:92:26)

If it ain’t already obvious, changing vue.config.js to read …

 module.exports = {
   devServer: {
     host: 'tstvm07',
     port: 3030,
   },
 };

… solved the problem.
