Issue 171 - Rewriting Functions in Rust Was a Challenge but Worth It
This article discusses optimizing authentication and identification processes for Shopify apps. It emphasizes the benefits of utilizing both Offline and Online Authentication methods to identify not only account owners but also collaborators and staff users. By capturing comprehensive data about logged-in users, developers can gain insights into their app's most active users and target support and outreach efforts accordingly. The article also highlights the importance of managing app scopes to avoid potential issues and suggests further optimizations based on uninstall patterns and business metrics. Additionally, it offers a technical approach to managing GraphQL queries in Shopify apps, covering manual building, separating queries and variables, and moving queries to separate files.

The article aims to help app developers improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their authentication and data management processes within the Shopify ecosystem.
