Episode Description

Many people want their organization to prioritize performance, but where do you start? In this episode, Reefath Rajali, a mobile developer advocate at PayPal, talks about PayPal's performance journey, starting with a simple, lightweight prototype built during a hackathon.

So, that is how this journey actually started and as you said, it was not an easy journey. We had a lot of challenges. Because it is a larger organization and to transform a hackathon idea into action, there are a lot of team players and companies about. We have our product, we have our analyst, we have our designers, and we have our engineering group. So, it’s like four or five teams we have to come together, agree, and every single stream has a different leader.
