Backend-driven UI promises faster iteration, better experimentation, and reduced app releases — but it also introduces new complexity. This talk explores how backend-driven UI can be implemented in SwiftUI and what trade-offs come with this approach.
Starting with common problems teams face when scaling UI development, the talk reviews several backend-driven UI strategies and evaluates their strengths and weaknesses. It then dives into a practical solution, highlighting architectural decisions, benefits, and limitations discovered along the way.
