Social Commerce Startup Ships 3 Major Features in 60 Days
The Full Story
This social commerce startup was building a mobile app with Shopify integration but struggling to keep pace with their roadmap. Their codebase had grown organically: Go for the backend, Cordova for the mobile app, and several middleware layers connecting everything. New hires took months to become productive, and they couldn't afford that ramp-up time.
We brought in our AI development team to quickly understand their complex codebase. Using AI-powered code analysis, we mapped their architecture and got productive within days instead of months. Working in parallel with their existing team, we tackled the feature backlog while they continued their core roadmap. In 60 days, we shipped enhanced Shopify sync, improved mobile notifications, and a new social sharing feature, all integrated smoothly with their existing stack.
The Challenge
Social commerce startup building a mobile app with Shopify integration had a complex mixed codebase spanning Go, Cordova, and multiple middleware layers. Their small team was struggling to ship features quickly enough to compete, and the codebase complexity made onboarding new developers slow and expensive.
Our Solution
We embedded our AI development team to rapidly understand their multi-language codebase, then worked in parallel with their existing team to accelerate feature delivery. AI-powered code analysis helped us navigate the Go backend, Cordova mobile layer, and middleware integrations.
AI-Accelerated Feature Development
Pair programming and automated testing for rapid feature delivery
The Result
3 Features in 60 Days
“They understood our Go and Cordova stack faster than developers we'd tried to hire. We shipped more in two months than we had in the previous six.”
