As mobile usage surges in emerging markets, building lightweight, scalable, and high-performance apps has never been more critical. In this session, Sachin Francis shares architecture strategies behind LinkedIn Lite—a 1MB app with 20M+ downloads—offering proven techniques to optimize apps for low bandwidth, limited device specs, and global reach. Key Takeaways: 1. Lightweight Architecture Principles Attendees will learn how to design mobile apps that are optimized for low-end devices and poor network conditions—critical for global scale and user retention in emerging markets. 2. Server-Driven UI Implementation Understand how server-driven UI enables rapid iteration, reduces app size, and decouples front-end updates from app releases—ideal for large-scale, frequently updated apps. 3. Hybrid Tech Integration Learn when and how to effectively use technologies like TWA, WebView, and PWA in native apps to enhance flexibility and reduce development costs. 4. Performance and Test Optimization Discover testing strategies like impact-based automation that speed up CI/CD pipelines without compromising quality.
