In the second part of the book, we met José and his PetSitter team and joined them as they created a web application from scratch. Their journey started at a whiteboard draft of a domain model, continued with an initial API design phase, went through the implementation with various API changes along the way, and finally ended with publishing the first prototype. In the third part of this book, we continue our journey together with the PetSitter team and application, as they take the next baby steps towards domination of the global pet sitting industry.
Let’s imagine the demonstration of the software went incredibly well and the application worked as designed. Overeager José immediately decided to start using it in production and posted some jobs where he needed someone to take care of his dog. Then, he recruited a few of his previous pet sitters as beta testers for the application, who willingly applied to the pet sitting jobs through the new system. Nidhi and Max didn’t want to stop his enthusiasm and made sure that the server kept running smoothly.
