Pulse Commerce delivered app-store-quality shopping without standing up two fully separate native teams. We structured a React Native monorepo with GraphQL clients, native modules for payments and biometrics, Detox coverage on purchase paths, and performance budgets for list and checkout flows. Conversion and crash-free sessions became release gates, not afterthoughts.
