summary
History of the app explains concrete fixes: move to a mono repo per platform to update modules in one commit, adopt Buck build system for faster builds at >1,000 modules, and use okbuck + EXO package to cut iterative deploys from 30–40s to 1–2s. An opinionated RIBs architecture modularizes runtime state, AutoDispose auto-unsubscribes Rx chains, Submit Queue prevents frequent master breakage, and tools like Crumb, Artist, NullAway and Rave generate, validate and toggle plugins at scale for millions of users.
