Compose Beyond the UI: Architecting Reactive State Machines at Scale

Jetpack Compose has redefined how we build UIs... but most apps still fall back on ViewModels and scattered logic that don’t scale well. As complexity grows, this leads to inconsistent screens, hard-to-reproduce bugs, and duplicated code. In this talk, we’ll look at how to move beyond MVVM/MVI into a reactive state machine model that fits Compose’s declarative style. You’ll learn how to design clean state contracts, coordinate transitions across navigation stacks and dialogs, and handle side effects like navigation or snackbars in a predictable way. We’ll also cover async patterns, modularizing domain state, debugging techniques for tracking state evolution, and testing UIs with simulated states and time-based transitions. By the end, you’ll leave with practical techniques to make Compose apps more scalable, debuggable, and easier to maintain.
