Meta Podcast Explores Bringing Jetpack Compose to Instagram
Adopting a new Android UI framework such as Jetpack Compose in an existing application involves more than simply adding AARs and writing code. Teams must account for performance targets, existing design components, and integrations with navigation and logging systems.
In a new episode of the Meta Tech Podcast, host Pascal Hartig speaks with Summer, a software engineer focused on large-scale migrations for Instagram. Summer details the deliberate and complex steps Instagram takes to give developers a smooth experience with its codebases, while also coordinating with Meta’s infrastructure teams that must support multiple concurrent implementations.
The conversation covers how Meta approaches rolling out a new framework. The episode is available now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Pocket Casts, and Overcast.
