Building Apps That Scale Without Losing Your Motivation

Whether you’re building at scale or sprinting through a weekend hackathon, every developer faces the same challenge: how do you build something quickly that doesn’t fall apart later? Apple gives us some powerful tools to help us ship great apps—but deciding how to structure and scale them is up to us. In this talk, we’ll explore practical techniques and design patterns that support maintainability, testability, and platform adaptability. From architecture and dependency management to leveraging compiler-assisted tooling, you’ll gain insights into what makes apps robust in the long run. Expect inspiration drawn from real-world experience and lessons learned from both successes and growing pains.
