How Fig keeps millions eating safely with a five-engineer team and Expo

Fig, an app designed to assist individuals with dietary restrictions in finding safe food options, leverages the Expo SDK and EAS Update to efficiently maintain and enhance its functionality with a small team of five engineers. Initially developed as a React Native app, Fig transitioned to using Expo due to its reliability and the ease it brings to development, especially after facing issues with unmaintained community packages. The app employs Expo modules such as expo-image for efficient image rendering, expo-location for location data in restaurant searches, and expo-store-review for gathering user feedback, ensuring compatibility and reducing maintenance complexity. Additionally, Fig adopted Expo EAS Updates for seamless over-the-air updates, ensuring fast delivery of critical patches and experimental features. This strategic integration has made React Native version upgrades more manageable and has allowed Fig to maintain a robust app experience for its users, ensuring confidence in food choices for those with complex dietary needs.
