Editor's Notes
- #5: These are the four high-level challenges I am seeing from our clients regularly.
- #6: Build modern apps fast. Build your business faster.
- #7: Build modern apps fast. Build your business faster.
- #8: Build modern apps fast. Build your business faster.
- #9: Experience drives great mobile apps, but where is the experience created? While most focus on the front-end, in reality there are performance impacts all the way through the stack. Running a DB index at an inopportune time can create a delay that was never expected by front-end devs.
- #10: Initial quality is important – due to app store curation Expedited releases are no substitute for real testing “Blue/Green” environments complement A/B testing approach Deployment and feedback management tools grow in importance Simultaneous release across clients is important Avoid patches – bundle bugfixes with new features Don’t wait for GA – use platform betas Moves to organic releases that meet user and market demands
- #18: Unfortunately this isn’t a panacea, there will be new challenges that come with the new opportunities this stack affords. Keep these in mind as you move forward: -- API design is as much art as it is engineering. You’ll fail early, ensure you learn from each of these. -- APIs aren’t a single layer, they’re more of a choreography of multiple API tiers. Ensure that this choreography maintains performance standards. -- Injection of role-based access, business intelligence, and analytics increase the striation. -- Service security, metering, commerce, and analytics are all handled in this layer. -- There’s a LOT going on, so a focus on “transactional” performance is critical.
