Strengthening AppBlock's Development Team for a Stable, Scalable Backend
We joined the AppBlock development team as a long-term partner for backend development and operations.
AppBlock helps people win back the time and attention their phones and apps take from them every day. It has more than 10 million downloads on Google Play alone and over 15 million happy users across platforms. By limiting distracting apps and websites, AppBlock helps users reclaim up to three hours every day.
The challenge: a stable backend for a fast-growing mobile app.
As the user base grew, so did the demands on running and developing the app. The AppBlock team needed to keep a stable foundation for Android, iOS and the web while continuing to build new features. They were looking for a partner who could join their product development, understand the bigger picture and strengthen the backend team over the long term.
We turn new product needs into application development
We continuously extend the backend with new features that support the ongoing development of the mobile and web apps. We design new parts of the system with testability, security and future extensibility in mind. This gives AppBlock a foundation on which it can keep building its product. For example, we have worked on:
- payment integrations,
- user management,
- extending the application logic,
- APIs for web administration and reporting.
So the team can rely on the app every single day.
We provide regular backend maintenance, database monitoring and fast incident response, so the mobile and web apps run reliably, securely and without outages.
When a start-up grows fast, it's important to be able to scale in every direction. We know where our expertise lies and in which areas it makes sense to bring in partners. We were looking for someone who could grow with us, analyze things properly and fit into our product development so they'd have the context needed to deliver the best possible quality. DevCors ticks all of those boxes, and I'm glad we have reliable partners who are a pleasure to work with, both technically and personally.
