The guiding light of a North Star - Bringing long-term vision to our Frontend transformation at Hotjar
- Hotjar embarked on a complex journey to modernize the architecture of our main front-end application.
- Inspired by our backend colleagues, we defined our 'Frontend North Star' to guide the process.
- The pillars of our North Star are Ownership, Autonomy and Accountability, Easy Deployment and Performance and Metrics.
- Open communication and transparency with backend colleagues proved invaluable in refining our problem definition and exploring solutions.
- We embraced the modular monolith, built upon a monorepo foundation for our technical solutions.
- We propelled our plan forward by aligning it with business goals through justifying the investment in the monorepo infrastructure.
- Our iterative process allowed us to refine our tooling and documentation, addressing the most pressing issues and empowering teams to build better products.
- Early tracking of metrics illuminated potential problems and enabled better decision-making.
- Evaluating ideas through the lens of customer needs and recognizing the importance of timing is crucial.
- Maintaining alignment is an ongoing process. Regular reminders of goals and non-goals had a positive impact on the success of the project.
