Mobile Reliability

Mobile imposes a different set of challenges: platforms, different hardware and OS types, different bandwidth requirements, and more. Mailbox launched as an iOS only client to Gmail in 2013. During the course of launching we learned how different maintaining and launching mobile backends is than your traditional "refresh" browser based model. We will also cover how different this experience is than maintaining a traditional website.

David Barshow is the operations tech lead for Mailbox. He works on building and maintaining the infrastructure to support the mobile Mailbox products.
