Updating Illustrations at Scale - Shopify

What this post added

Introduced `@shopify/get-repo-images`, an open-source tool built in Go, to address the challenge of managing and discovering illustrations across a large number of repositories. The tool clones repositories, finds image files (PNG, SVG, WebP), identifies their references in code, and exposes this information via an API and a web interface. This significantly improved performance and accuracy compared to previous Node.js-based solutions, reducing build times from over 35 minutes to 8 minutes for a comparable dataset.
