Join me on a journey as we go from a small mobile app built by a single engineer, to this app evolving into a complex mobile app used by millions of customers, and built and maintained by close to a hundred mobile engineers. What are some major challenges at each step? How does team composition differ at the stages? Where do practices like mobile platform teams, experimentation, code governance and many others come into play? You’ll walk away with a toolset you can use both to prepare for future growth of your app or team, and inspiration with practices that might help with your current stage.
