Niklas is backend engineer at Spotify, open source hacker, mountain biker and father of 2 awesome kids. At Spotify, he concentrates on the audio pipeline and content delivery. In his talk, he explains how a small Swedish startup experienced extensive growth, both in the number of users and employees. He’ll also answer the question, how did the development culture address the inherent growth problems while still maintaining a high product development velocity?
