Task
The app was nearly done, but the contractor’s backend had to be thrown away. Rewrite it from scratch, take it to production and hand it to a team of its own.
Result
A new backend in three months, with releases shipping throughout. Production and peak marketing periods — no incidents. The project handed to a compact team assembled for it.

Result
A new backend in production in three months. No “big-bang” release — continuous ones only.
