🎙️ Talk: TDC Online 2020 – Server-Driven UI: 10 Years of Change
This year has been anything but normal. With most tech events canceled or moved online, I had the chance to join TDC Online 2020 — one of Brazil’s biggest developer conferences — this time streamed completely remote.
I was invited to speak on the Zup Innovation track, and the topic I brought was something that’s evolved a lot over the last decade:
Server-Driven UI.
The talk was titled:
"Server-Driven UI: Diferença e Evolução em 2010 e 2020"
It was a good moment to reflect — not just because of the global shift toward distributed work, but because this architecture pattern has become increasingly relevant in mobile and multi-platform development. We’ve seen it grow from hacky “remote layout configs” to structured, real-time dynamic rendering pipelines.
I covered:
- What we used to call Remote UI back in the early 2010s
- Key changes in architecture, tooling, and mindset
- Trade-offs around flexibility, product velocity, and maintainability
- Examples of how real apps use this approach at scale
- Some thoughts on what’s coming next in UI delivery
📉 With teams working asynchronously and deployments becoming more decoupled, Server-Driven UI feels more timely than ever.
