The Challenge
Grindr faced several technical and operational challenges as it scaled rapidly:
- Unstable deployments with frequent crashes.
- Performance bottlenecks during peak loads.
- Technical debt slowing product evolution.
- Spambot attacks and fake profiles undermining user trust.
- Low QA coverage (≈15%) and unreliable automation.
