Solution
We implemented a fully serverless backend architecture using AWS Lambda for automatic scaling, designed autonomous microservices for independent feature deployment, and built self-sufficient React frontend components with AWS CloudFront integration. The solution included unified iOS/Android applications via React Native and comprehensive testing automation with coverage evolving from 50% during experimental phases to 90%+ for critical business logic.
