Welcome to WONDR’s Team Spotlight! Dear Reader, you might be wondering what Team Spotlight is and I think it’s only fair if we answered that question early on. So without further ado, let’s see what that means: Team Spotlight is a format of asking questions and sharing answers between team members in order to get to know each other better, through non-standard questions, which may vary and are designed to show funny and relatable side of ourselves.

Creating a new messenger experience

engineering

As the WONDR platform has grown, so too has the requirement to constantly consider whether the features that were fit for purpose yesterday will be fit for purpose tomorrow. When our messenger first debuted back in 2018, its purpose was to convey single messages between individuals. It operated a bit like e-mail: as a user you log in, navigate to your messages, check out what’s new, then leave. Over time, we realised that our users expected something closer to an instant messenger.

‘Hey, is anyone using the staging site?’ is a question most software developers will be used to hearing. You have three environments: local, staging and production. Any developer can spin up the application locally to build new features, and deploying those features to a single production destination is simple because it just needs to reflect the main branch of your Git repo.
