1 post · Jan 2020

What this trail covers

Shopify has established a system to treat mobile applications as services, enforcing best practices and tooling usage through ServicesDB. This system codifies ownership, contact information, testing and deployment configurations, versioning, and monitoring requirements, ensuring consistency and scalability across mobile projects.

  1. Scaling Mobile Development by Treating Apps as Services - ShopifyThis post introduces the concept of treating mobile apps as services, similar to how web services are managed at Shopify. It details the extension of the ServicesDB system to mobile projects, enabling the codification of best practices through configuration files. These checks cover service ownership, contact information, CI/CD configuration, versioning (including dependency security), and monitoring. When checks fail, GitHub issues are automatically created to notify teams. The goal is to abstract tooling and configuration away from mobile developers, allowing them to focus on commerce problems.
