8 things that can break whose code you have no control over and cannot see.
If your newsletter pop up app breaks that’s no big deal but your inventory sync isn’t in the same boat.
With node packages you can lock to a version and upgrade gradually. With Wordpress you can do the same.
Generally though I’ve found Shopify keeps you updated when it comes to breaking API changes.
