It's more than 50... I mean just look at the number of API endpoints across multiple APIs both internal and external. It's easily hundreds then add sys ops, dev ops, dev content writing (docs/guides), frontend, design, pm, support, etc.
I feel like most of you all are unaware of the complexity and scope of Shopify...
- jokethrowaway 4y agoI've seen companies where a team was managing 10 services and companies where a team was managing one endpoint The former had some stressed principal engineers, the latter was terribly inefficient and people had 1% productivity. There is a happy medium, but nobody can manage a large headcounts without splitting in a lot of tiny products. The core product of shopify is not something that needs 10k engineers for maintenance, even if they can afford that.
