Engineering at Frappe
summary
Frappe runs engineering with about 30 developers, juggling ERPNext, Frappe Cloud, Marketplace and new products while avoiding heavy process. A Kanban and a separate Solutions team both fail; custom work gets outsourced and teams merge back into product focus. Engineers gain wide autonomy so outcomes matter: a BI tool ships in three months, the stock module is refactored to much higher stability, and hiring favors strong GitHub histories or a take-home project. Mentors support, unblock and hire or fire.
