Developing for Scale Following a Crowdfunding Smash: A Talk with JustPark - ERP Spain.com - España y América Latina

Award-winning JustPark is the UK’s leading parking app, with more than 1.5 million users and over £1m in transactions each month. In 2015, its first crowd funding effort broke records, reaching £3.5m. Its second round – which is still in progress - raised £1m in just three hours. With investment in the second round currently sitting at just over £2m, we talk to one of the app’s senior developers about how JustPark will develop for scale, and its plans for taking on the £50bn UK parking industry. Questions include: • With the incredible growth and projections of JustPark, how are you going about scaling the app for the rapidly growing user base? • What coding environment do you use at JustPark? Have you used any specific tools that streamlined your processes? • Is there a uniform coding style at JustPark or does each developer have his or her own standard and style? • What type of development style does JustPark subscribe to as a whole? What have you found the benefits of this to be? • How did you integrate your payment systems? Do you have any learnings to share with our community who may be embarking on this for the first time? • Does JustPark encourage you to create tools and systems on the side that help the team?
