Session: Rapid Iterations with Server Driven UI

How do we ship faster and better products to our customers?

In the traditional software development, the data is driven by a backend service while the load of UI resides on the clients. As we scale, all our clients (IOS, Web, Android) end up with custom logic residing at client side. This can cause logic to diverge across platforms. Further, things become ugly if there is a new bug or feature needed as the app needs to follow a full release cycle on App Store. This often takes weeks to get the changes out to production in customer’s hand. Next, we are at the mercy of our customers to update the app version to be able to use the latest features. This slows us down with both iteration and experimentations.

In this fast-paced world where technology is changing every minute, do want to wait this long?

Enters Server driven UI where the server drives the UI. The data and UI is sent from the server to UI that simply acts as a rendering slate with no/little logic of its own. This opens a plethora of opportunities for companies to be agile and build faster to ship awesome products to their customers.

In this talk, we will introduce server driven UI to the audience, its pros and cons and share my engineering team’s personal journey from conventional to server driven UI development.


Key Takeaways

  • How do we iterate and ship products faster to our customers using server Driven UI
  • How is server driven UI different from our conventional engineering
  • What are the pros and cons, is it a one size fits all solution?
  • Robinhood's engineering team journey to Server driven UI(charts)
