Hello! My name is Zhenya Suvorov, I am the head of the mobile architecture team in Avito. On April 4, on our YouTube channel and on social networks, we will conduct a live broadcast and discuss how to keep the product quality at a high level in iOS development even with a strong scaling of the project and team.

Let's talk on different topics: how to understand that your project has grown, and you need to change approaches to development, what difficulties arise, how to organize teamwork, let's touch on architecture and code base, compare development metrics in small and large projects, and then libraries. frameworks, languages ​​- deeper and more interesting. We don’t know where the conversation will lead. The discussion will be attended by experts from Yandex, Sberbank, HeadHunter, OK.RU and Avito.

Under the cutter are sample topics that we plan to discuss (and we suggest you add this list), as well as passwords and appearances for those who want to join the broadcast. Bookmark the post: after the meeting, update it and upload the video.
