Summary

Hollie Haggans, the head of global partnerships for DigitalOcean's Hatch program, has worked with over 1,600 startups that have built their infrastructure on DigitalOcean through the incubator program. Marley Spoon, a subscription meal kit company based in Berlin and a Hatch startup, uses DigitalOcean to power its customer-facing platform and internal-facing production and distribution platform. The company models its engineering teams around user flows, with four teams working together to provide a seamless experience for customers. The teams are organized around the needs of the business, with product managers and designers integrated into the engineering teams as needed. Marley Spoon uses a workflow-based approach, similar to Kanban, to manage its development process. The company's technology stack is mainly Ruby-based, using Rails for web apps, but it is currently in the process of upgrading its stack to include React.
