Atlas is Alibaba's Android dynamic component framework that enables client-side containerization through decoupled, isolated bundles. It provides class isolation, on-demand loading, and rapid incremental updates across the development, runtime, and maintenance phases of Android apps.

Use cases

  • split a large android app into independently developed modules
  • fix bugs in a released android app without a full app store update
  • push incremental updates to an android app dynamically
  • work around the 65535 method count limit in android
  • enable parallel development and independent debugging of android features
  • load classes and resources on demand at runtime in android

When to choose

  • you maintain a very large legacy Android app needing modularization and dynamic updates
  • you need class isolation and bundle-based decoupling on Android 4.0-9.0
  • your team wants independent development and debugging of app components

When to avoid

  • you target modern Android versions beyond 9.0
  • you want an actively maintained solution - development has slowed and alternatives like dynamic feature delivery exist
  • you need a multi-process framework rather than a component framework
