Building apps at scale

You’ve built and launched an app with a handful of engineers. It’s a success! So the app grows. And the team grows. Bugs seem to be more frequent. It’s starting to get harder to modify the code. What is happening? And how do we fix it?

At Uber, we’ve been through this journey, growing from one mobile developer to hundreds. In this talk we’ll share the history of how the app grew and came to a breaking point, how and why we decided to start anew, why we chose to create a new mobile architecture on the way and how it’s worked out for us. We will share our approach to making app development scale to very large apps and teams and what smaller teams can also take from this.
