In this chapter, you will learn what determines your app's scalability and what you need to do for it to scale well. You will also learn when scaling will become important and what elements will influence your scaling strategy. When you just get started, the scale is not important at all.

Overview of this book
Lean is the ultimate methodology for creating a startup that succeeds. Sounds great from a theoretical point of view, but what does that mean for you as an a technical co-founder or mobile developer?
By applying the Lean Start-up methodology to your mobile App development, it will become so much easier to build apps that take Google Play or the App Store by storm. This book shows you how to bring together smarter business processes with technical
know-how.
It makes no sense to develop a brilliant app for six months or longer only to find out later that nobody is interested in it. Build a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) first. Validate your
hypotheses early and often. Discover effective product development strategies that let you put Facebook's famous axiom "move fast and break things"
into practice.
A great app without visibility and marketing clout is nothing, so use this book to market your app, making use of effective metrics that help you track and iterate all aspects of project performance.
