Year in Numbers — Behind the Scenes of an Early-Stage Startup Engineer
H ave you ever wondered how does a life look like for a developer in an early-stage startup? Or you are one of those developers and wonder how people in similar circumstances work. Look no further as I deep dive into one year worth of numbers and lessons learned.
This post captures my first year in Outfunnel, a sales-centric marketing automation tool, during which we rebuilt some parts of the initial prototype and built new features next to the current functionality.
Joining Outfunnel tog ether with another developer we were tasked with rebuilding the web application which was then part of a Node.js monolith. Having previously worked with Vue.js and having had a brief experience with Vuetify we decided to go with these as a foundation of our new webapp.
While building the single-page application on top of Vuetify we needed an API to connect to. For that we chose familiar and battle-tested Express.js and as our database was MongoDB we also took Mongoose to create schemas and models for our REST API.
