The Apple Services Engineering team is one of the most exciting examples of Apple’s passion for combining art and technology. These are the people who power the Apple Music, App Store, Apple TV, Apple Fitness+, Apple Podcasts, and Apple Books and more. And they do it on a massive scale, meeting Apple’s high expectations with high performance to deliver a huge variety of entertainment in over 37 languages to more than 175 countries. These engineers build secure, end-to-end solutions. They develop the custom software used to process all the creative work, the tools that providers use to deliver that media, all the server-side systems, and the APIs for many Apple services. When this team introduced the App Store, it launched a cultural and economic phenomenon that changed the way people live, work, and play. These engineers continue to innovate the platform, now home to over 1.8 million apps — each created using the team's own software development kit and related services. All those apps mean the store takes billions of requests from more than 500 million visitors every week, across iOS, macOS, tvOS, iPadOS, watchOS, and visionOS. To deliver such a rich experience at this scale, the engineers build high-performance systems backed by robust testing. In a world where apps have become essential in people's daily lives, the App Store team has become crucial to Apple's business.
