Presentation: TweetStartup Architecture: how to lean on others to get stuff done
We will look at the sort of problems startups face and how that affects the applications those companies create. We will cover tools which can assist with technical decisions and look at what a maintainable product and business might look like. We will also discuss some decisions made by companies in an effort to scale and grow and reflect on the successes of those decisions.
Learnings: Attendees will learn how to lean into tools to help them in delaying decisions, discover the important aspects to take away for any web application and why they should embrace 'waiting trumps guessing every time'.
