From 5 to 100 in Product Development team in just 5 years
summary
Company scales product development from ~5 to ~100 engineers across 14 scrum teams with 70% remote staffing, adopts remote‑first culture and Zoom/Google Hangouts+Logitech rooms, and migrates from 14 monolith instances to ~150 microservice repositories using DynamoDB + Elasticsearch. Teams become end‑to‑end and self‑deployable, CI/CD and contract tests run, and white‑label launches drop from about a month to three days. Pain points remain: alignment, legacy code, uneven code quality and heavier integration testing.
