Join us as we take you through Auto Trader’s 4-year journey in crafting our hybrid Server-Driven UI framework (Composable) and the architecture that powers our mobile apps. We’ll delve into why we decided to build instead of buy, our choice of Kotlin and the designs that fuelled our success. From pitfalls to breakthroughs, this talk will be full of useful insights for anyone considering building SDUI themselves.
