Tinder is one of the fastest-growing dating apps. Every week tinder dating app helping to meet uptown 1 million users that’s high numbers in comparison to another dating engineering. I usually go to the career page and try to learn about their engineering and technical blogs. Airbnb writes excellent professional blogs too.
The tinder dating app is supporting all platforms, Android, iOS, and Web. To have the same user experience in all three platforms are not an easy job. Many UX designers are working hard to learn about users behavior for each platform and try to provide standard practice for Android, iOS, and Web.
Tinder Backend Engineering :
To build a great mobile app, strong backend engineering is required. For example, when a person swipes right or left and shows loading for 20 seconds before moving to the next swipe is considered backend engineering.
Tinder is using AWS Cloud Server and has been implemented using Dockers Containers. Dating is a very complex problem to solve if you think about technology. Mobile Application should have excellent search functionality to search and return the result in less than 1 second or less time. Tinder Mobile Dating App is using Elastic Search for all search functionality in the backend side, and All backend communication depends on python API Framework & Java API Framework.
iOS Application Development Engineering:
In order to have great iOS Mobile Application, Tinder Mobile Team who focuses on Swift language and writes automation tests that pushes code fast and mobile app release fast. Tinder also does canary testing during the release that gives a high quality in the mobile release cycle. Swift language is a native mobile application for programming that has better control on iOS platform compared to other hybrid mobile applications. It is very important to understand the audience when choosing a programming language for mobile application development. In the past, I have seen many companies build mobile apps 3 times in 5 years for better user experience.
Tinder iOS development team must have strong knowledge about the mobile app crashing and freezing issue. There are many tools available in the market that helps to debug app crashing and mobile app freeze issue. Every 2 weeks Tinder Mobile Development team releases a new mobile app with great pride which can handle even bigger user base
