How the SJGAR Stack Accelerated Our Digital Transformation
summary
A simple stack of JavaScript everywhere, cloud-native serverless, GraphQL and React + React Native speeds a 6‑engineer innovation team to rebuild a production mobile app in one year for a 175‑year, €30B insurer active in 11 countries. Moving to serverless (AWS Lambda / managed services) cuts ops and patching, React + React Native reuses UI patterns across web and mobile, Apollo GraphQL unifies frontend/backend. Outcomes: faster experiments, continuous delivery into App Store, more ownership from full‑stack engineers and measurable cultural lift.
