A platform approach to scaling mobile app development
summary
REA Group moves from a single iOS and Android codebase through a messy federated stage to an app-as-platform with an app shell, app frame and composed micro frontends, backed by a foundations layer (capabilities + design kit) and an internal app library. The platform supports 17 teams, 100+ engineers, offers a microfrontend scaffold that cuts new-feature setup from about one month to one week, and exposes CI/CD, navigation registration and shared analytics; remaining work is legacy migration and aligning diverse tech stacks.
