I2C Forum: The Modern Full-Stack Developer's Guide: A 12-Factor Approach to Building Scalable Applications
Date: Monday, September 15, 2025
Time:17:00–18:30
Location: Online
In a fast-changing tech landscape, building scalable full-stack applications requires more than just knowing your tools. In this quarterly online event of the I2C Forum, we’re introducing the 12+3 Fullstack Factors – a practical, experience-based methodology crafted by Tikal’s fullstack pros to help development teams scale faster, collaborate better, and avoid common architectural traps.
On the Agenda
17:00–17:45
Why We Need a New Approach to Full-Stack Development
Speaker: Avishay Maor, Fullstack Architect and Group Lead, Tikal
In this opening session, we’ll explore the evolution of full-stack development and the challenges that led us to create the 12+3 Fullstack Factors methodology. Drawing from the collective experience of over 50 Tikal full-stack experts, we’ll discuss:
Common pain points (framework fatigue, inconsistent environments, scaling friction)
How applications have evolved from monoliths systems to complex, multi-platform ecosystems
Why traditional methodologies don’t cut it anymore
Overview of the 12+3 Fullstack Factors and how they address real-world development challenges
Key Takeaways:
Understand the modern full-stack landscape
Spot common development bottlenecks in your workflow
Get a clear framework for better architecture decisions
17:45–18:30
Factor 3 Deep Dive: Design Systems – The Foundation of Scalable UX
Speaker: Roy Kass, Fullstack Tech Lead, Tikal
Dive deep into one of our most impactful factors - Design Systems. This technical session will cover how to create consistent user experiences through shared components and patterns that scale across teams and platforms:
What’s the difference between a components library and a design system?
What makes a complete design system: Design tokens, component libraries, interaction patterns, and governance
Implementation strategies: Adopt existing systems vs. build custom vs. hybrid approaches
Technical architecture: Integration with React and CSS strategies
Tools and best practices: Storybook, Figma, design tokens, and testing strategies
What You'll Learn
