How can you ensure mobile application scalability?

Escala está diretamente ligada a uso, para garantir o uso e recomendação do uso de um aplicativo o ideal é apontar situações onde o uso do aplicativo é necessário ou ajuda a economizar tempo e recursos em comparação com a maneira tradicional de fazer as coisas. Fomentar parcerias, provocar o mercado convencional, posicionamento onicanal, abordagem inteligente de tomadores de decisão e claro cuidar para em caso de conquista desta escalabilidade o aplicativo suporte essa demanda e entregue de fato o que oferece como solução.

Ja vivenciei problemas por ter criado a arquitetura errada na solução, o que gerou gargalos e bloqueios de escala. Modularização e arquitetura distribuidas são grandes aliadas em aplicações que precisam de escala.

Une couche d’api management rajoutera une meilleure gouvernance des apis. Elle permettra également d’uniformiser la sécurité tout en fournissant des métriques sur l’usage des apis.

Se estamos falando de escalabilidade, claramente estamos falando de nuvem, e reduzir o uso de servidores internos para o uso somente em nuvem, pode ser um caminho, principalmente para escalamento automático por demanda. Os containers são uma ótima forma para facilitar a implementação e escalabilidade.

By adopting these strategies, you can build a scalable mobile application that can handle varying workloads and provide a reliable experience for users as your application grows.

Lors du développement d’une application mobile il faut en effet porter une attention sur la bande passante donc une bonne optimisation des échanges est nécessaire. Il faut également s’assurer du comportement de l’application en cas de coupure internet : gérer le offline meme temporaire

A ideia é que não só utilize codificação e práticas recomendadas para o desenvolvimento, mas utilizar de forma eficiente, visando sempre a disponibilidade, e redução de consumo desnecessários de recursos. Combine os requisitos, comprima e compacte recursos, cache. Vale lembrar que para uso eficiente da memória como: reutilização de objetos, carregue recursos somente quando forem necessários (imagens etc), diminua o tamanho dos objetos e recursos, otimize a estrutura de dados, etc

In my experience, optimizing code and resources is crucial for achieving mobile application scalability. Following coding standards and best practices, such as avoiding memory leaks and minimizing network requests, can greatly improve the efficiency and performance of your application. Optimizing resources like images, fonts, and videos through compression, resizing, and lazy loading techniques can significantly reduce the application size, enhance loading speed, and conserve bandwidth and battery power. By implementing these strategies, developers can ensure that their mobile applications are not only scalable, but also deliver an exceptional user experience.

Cela est d’autant plus vrai quand vous déployer une application mobile b2c, vous devez être capable de gérer les pics imprévisibles.

C’est même primordial pour des déploiements de nos jours car il est nécessaire/impératif d’avoir une approche FinOps. Donc dans l’idéal l’autoscaling permet l’alignement des ressources en fonction de certaines métriques (nombre de connexions simultanées, charge CPU et/ou RAM, etc…) pour répondre aux besoins et donc « absorber » les pics mais surtout d’éteindre le surplus quand à l’inverse la charge est beaucoup plus faible.

In my experience, implementing load balancing and auto-scaling is crucial for achieving optimal mobile application scalability. Load balancing ensures efficient distribution of incoming requests, preventing any single server or instance from becoming overwhelmed. By evenly distributing the workload, load balancing helps maintain high availability and responsiveness. Auto-scaling, on the other hand, dynamically adjusts the number of servers or instances based on demand, allowing the application to seamlessly handle fluctuations in traffic. This proactive approach ensures that the application can scale up during peak periods and scale down during periods of lower demand, optimizing resource utilization and minimizing costs.

Utilisez le cloud pour monter une architecture mobile est une évidence ! Cela apportera flexibilité, scalabilité. L’infrastructure sera plus simple à gérer et à provisionner surtout si vous partez sur une approche PaaS.

1. Storage becomes and issue, cloud based storage assists in the retrieval of archived information accessible when needed. Therefore reduces amount of resources been used on the device.

In my experience, cloud services and platforms have proven to be invaluable tools for achieving mobile application scalability. They offer a wide range of benefits, including flexibility, reliability, and security. By utilizing cloud services and platforms, you can easily host your backend, database, and other components of your application, while also accessing them through APIs. These services provide a wealth of features and functionalities that can greatly enhance your application, such as authentication, analytics, notifications, and even machine learning capabilities. Cloud services and platforms offer comprehensive tools and frameworks for effectively managing, monitoring, and scaling your application.

Les tests classiques liés au développement s’appliquent bien entendu sur du développement mobile. Vous devez néanmoins avoir un focus spécifique sur les tests de montée en charge et de performance. Pour finir il faut également valider, tester l’application sur des devices physiques en fonction de sa cible. Ils existent pour cela des prestataires comme Microsoft qui vous apporte ce service.

Testes de performance são essenciais para garantir a entrega e procura por melhorias, seja no carregamento, ou teste de estresse. Além disso, vale sempre considerar recursos como o consumo de energia/bateria.

1)Conduct regular performance tests to identify and address potential scalability issues before they impact users. 2)Continuously monitor your app's performance and resource usage, and be prepared to scale up or down your infrastructure as needed.

I have found that testing and monitoring are essential for ensuring the success of an application. By conducting thorough testing at various stages of development, using different methods and tools such as unit testing, integration testing, functional testing, load testing, and stress testing, you can identify and address any issues or performance bottlenecks early on. This proactive approach helps to improve the overall quality and user satisfaction of the application. Additionally, real-time monitoring using metrics and indicators like response time, error rate, throughput, and availability allows you to continuously assess the performance of your application and make necessary adjustments.

Para las aplicaciones nativas es complicado predecir las futuras mejoras y cambios en los SDK del "fabricante" original del software base por lo que el orden y la separación de funciones dentro de la aplicación podrían ayudar bastante a la hora de actualizar nuestro código.

If you are considering scaling the application you should be prepared to have a great documentation from the get go, semantic version is good too and dont forget a workflow that encapsulate a CI/CD. It is really hard to maintain a code base and scale it if you don't organize it properly.
