Consistency is Key - Working with a Design System
summary
Shows a concrete migration: Deliveroo consolidates three Android apps into a shared UI kit, moves from Git submodules to private Maven (Artifactory), and serves icons and styles as published dependencies. Covers naming, color/text mapping, and the decision to implement a custom button view with 42 combinations plus a component browser for visual regression. Reports faster builds, fewer duplicates, and closer cross-team reviews, and notes remaining gaps (keeping components synced, design tokens aspiration) so expectations match what actually works.
