The EC Methodology

First in our EC Methodology Series... what is an app? Let's do a rough breakdown of the different things people mean when they talk about building an "app."

Next in our EC Methodology Series... design something! It might sound obvious, but before you start building something you should probably design it first. Here we break down the very basics.

Next in our EC Methodology Series... get a domain! It’s important. It’s how different parts of your system will communicate with each other, even if you’re building a mobile app without a web presence.

Next in our EC Methodology Series... growth! Growth potential, or “scalability” is important to think through. You don’t want to design a system for 5 million users, if you’re likely to only get 5 thousand in the first year. But… you also don’t want to design a system for 5 thousand users if you’re likely to hit 5 million soon.

Next in our EC Methodology Series... infrastructure! One of the things you’ll need to know before you get going is “what are the capabilities of the infrastructure I’ll be deploying to.” You'll need to know what you can and can't do with the resources you have available to you.

Next in our EC Methodology Series... services! Last time we talked about infrastructure. Today we’ll cover some key services we use to build our products and make them reliable.

Last time we talked about services you might need for your application. Today we’ll talk about coordinating all of those services!

There are always going to be security concerns, but you can do your best to identify and address the obvious ones early, and keep a close eye on them. In this episode we'll talk a bit about security, how to think about developing a secure application, and managing access to services.💻 Connect with us, partner with us, or give us feedback:[email protected]🚀 Subscribe t

You might be building this app for someone else to use, but most apps need to be managed, so you’ll probably need an admin account and interface too. We find that it’s very common for people to initially focus on the problems they want to solve for their end users and lose track of their role within the system. You inevitably need ways to manage the apps you build.💻 Connect

You don’t want to get stuck manually deploying the latest versions of your app. That path leads to bottlenecks and uncertainty. You need to make sure features get delivered into peoples hands through smooth, automated, consistent processes.💻 Connect with us, partner with us, or give us feedback:[email protected]🚀 Subscribe to learn more about our process:https://s.g
