ePUB, Kindle, PDF
Success at Scale is a curated collection of best-practice case studies capturing how production sites of different sizes tackle performance, accessibility, capabilities, and developer experience at scale. Case studies are from industry experts from teams at Instagram, Shopify, Netflix, eBay, Figma, Spotify, Wix, Lyft, LinkedIn, and many more. Guidance that stands the test of time.
About The Book
Join Addy Osmani, your curator, as we dive into a nuanced look at several key topics that will teach you tips and tricks that may help you optimize your own sites. The case studies fall into four major categories that impact almost every project — Performance, Capabilities, Accessibility, and Developer Experience — and the book also includes short interviews with contributors on what additional lessons, challenges, and tips they have to share some time after the case studies were written.
Rather than focusing on conventional project management steps and procedures, Success at Scale is about the ideas and processes that worked (and a few that didn’t), capturing challenges, frustrations, and wins through the eyes of the people who make change happen.
