# Scaling a Codebase Beyond the Initial Build

Nick Krantz

June 5, 2024

## About the talk

Codebases have an indefinite lifespan, and they are always expanding. Over time, features multiply, requirements change, and there is developer turnover. Without proactive maintenance or planning, tasks such as adding new features, fixing bugs, or onboarding new developers can become daunting. Join us to discover strategies for maintaining your own codebase and gain tips to confidently dive into new projects.
