Server-driven UI (SDUI): Meet Zalandos AppCraft and AirBnB Lona

A short WTF:

Zalando seems to follow the SDUI principle as well - defining a common design language and construct the screens on the backend while displaying them natively on the clients.

They even go one step further; they implemented a mighty toolset to enable non-technical stakeholders to define their own native app screens

  • Compass: Web tooling to create screens and bind data
  • Beetroot: Backend service that combines the screen layout definition with the data
  • Lapis/Golem: iOS/Android UI render engines

Crazy cool!
Good job, guys (when you do an open-source release?)
To even move faster a Flutter based UI render engine implementation was great!

    I'm really impressed with how Zalando applies the SDUI principle to create server-driven user interfaces, optimizing their app development process. Their development of tools like Compass and Beetroot, enabling even non-technical individuals to define app screens, is a remarkable step forward. This not only enhances efficiency but also increases flexibility in the product development process. :>
