Microservices involve breaking down backend components into isolated units that can function independently. In a similar vein, mobile app developers have the flexibility to modularize their applications by extracting single features, shared business logic, and low-level functions into separate module libraries. These resulting modules operate independently of each other and the primary application codebase, allowing development teams to work on them in isolation.
The architecture of micro-apps follows a modular design, enhancing developer productivity through the use of dedicated applications for Mobile app development and testing, referred to as micro-apps. Unlike well-defined frameworks like MVC (Model-View-Controller) or MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel), micro apps offer a more abstract approach.
Key Elements of a Micro Apps Application:
The User-Facing App:
The user-facing application acts as an organizer, wrapping around the isolated modules to provide a unified user experience. Its codebase should be minimal since the primary functionalities and business logic reside in dedicated modules.
Feature Modules:
Each set of related features within a particular business category is contained within a dedicated module. For example, in an e-commerce app, browsing inventory may reside in a separate module from cart management. Each module’s codebase includes the necessary business logic and custom UI for the specific feature.
UI Modules:
iOS and Android operating systems have their respective testing environments. While iOS’s TestFlight offers faster testing, the Android emulator boasts greater efficiency and a more realistic representation.
Adopting a micro app architecture is a process that demands time, learning, and trial and error. XcelTec is available to address your queries and provide iOS App Development Services in the USA, for your upcoming projects. As you begin extracting modules, focus on defining the boundaries between your system’s components, determining what needs to be separated and modularized, how the codebase should be organized, and how your tooling can be optimized to support the development, testing, and deployment of a fully modular application.
