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
