Scaling The Mobile App

on YouTube ↗17m

" summary

Chime migrates a React Native app from multiple REST endpoints (example: four calls per screen) to a single GraphQL query to cut client complexity and request volume, then splits that query into critical and non-critical operations so balances/transactions stay available when profile services fail. Backend uses operation-aware traffic prioritization and a CDN-hosted JSON light mode toggle with a 0–100 dial to throttle or enable features while millions of members recover.
