Server Driven UIs: the future of cross-platform rendering architectures
26. Juni 2025 um 16:25:00
Stage 1
SDUI is a software architectural paradigm that centralizes UI decision making on the server, offering a dynamic and adaptive UI experience across all platforms, with one codebase.
This talk discusses the value of the promise of “one codebase, deployed to all apps across different platforms” and how SDUI patterns could be the future of application rendering.
In this talk we dive into
- Reasons for the emergence of SDUI as a paradigm
- Fundamental components of a successful SDUI system
- Case studies of popular apps using this pattern
- Recommendations for developers on when to choose SDUI over traditional native per-platform client-side rendering
Key takeaways and learning points
- Being able to make the trade-off between SDUI and client-driven rendering paradigms
- Awareness of the fundamental architecture pattern for SDUI
- How to get started with SDUI for your app
