Actually distributed mobile development at scale

Releasing new versions of mobile apps is painful, and it only gets harder as teams grow. Zackary Chapple (CEO at Zephyr Cloud) shows how Module Federation in Re.Pack 5 brings the proven patterns of distributed web development to React Native. With millions of downloads a week, Module Federation is the de facto standard for decomposing apps on the web, and now it’s available for mobile.

▪ How to decompose React Native apps into independent modules

▪ Giving teams autonomy with separate release cycles and versioning

▪ Practical strategies for managing module versions and shipping updates independently

▪ A comparison of OTA (over-the-air) update solutions and why module-level distribution is different

▪ How Module Federation enables instant rollbacks and even testing in production at scale

From monolithic releases to actually distributed mobile development, this talk explores how Module Federation changes the way we build, version, and release React Native apps.
