Micro-Feature Architecture for Mobile
Article Summary
Delivery Hero tackled a tough problem: how do you let 15+ teams build features independently for the same mobile screen without chaos?
Their engineering team developed Micro-Feature Architecture for their map-centric Android Rider app. This approach lets multiple teams collaborate on a single, context-aware screen while maintaining independence.
Key Takeaways
- Self-contained UI components work in any host with minimal integration footprint
- Host-agnostic design enables dynamic content switching based on user context
- Built on Unidirectional Data Flow with observable repositories for reactive chains
- Dynamic host configurations prevent memory pressure as features scale
- Platform-agnostic pattern works beyond Android despite Kotlin/Compose examples
Critical Insight
Micro-features solve the architectural challenge of multiple teams building for one screen by creating portable, self-contained components that decide their own visibility.
