“Promising product failed to scale”

2.0
Sep 11, 2020
We assessed and deployed Kinvey in 2017 as the core backbone of a cutting edge workplace experience mobile product. At the time Kinvey was an upcoming entrant in the MBaaS domain. Subsequent phases of the product lifecycle yielded several product capability issues across the board starting with deployment pipeline. Kinvey was replaced subsequent with a combination of Ambassador / Envoy service mesh architecture and Firebase.
