## Source excerpt

As an integral part of Shopify's ecosystem, our mobile app serves millions of merchants around the world every single day. It allows them to run their business from anywhere and offers vital insights about store performance, analytics, orders, and more. Given its high-engagement nature, users frequently return to it, underscoring the importance of speed and efficiency. At the beginning of 2023, we noticed that our app's performance had decreased since we started migrating to React Native.
