Engineering the architecture behind Uber's new rider app
Not being held back by our extensive codebase and previous design choices gave us the freedom where we otherwise would have made compromises. The outcome is the sleek new app you see today, which implements a new mobile architecture across both iOS and Android. Read on to learn why we felt the need to create this new architecture pattern, called Riblets, and how it helps us reach our goals.
The platforms share:
Each Riblet is made up of one Router, Interactor, and Builder with its Component (hence the name), and optional Presenters and Views. The Router and Interactor handle the business logic, while the Presenter and View handle the view logic.

The platforms share:
- Core architecture
- Class names
- Inheritance relationships between business logic units
- How business logic is divided
- Plugin points (names, existence, structure, etc.)
- Reactive programming chains
- Unified platform components
