Our Android app

Our app is 100% Kotlin built using MVVM (Model View ViewModel) and Coordinators and modularised by product feature.

We use RxJava Retrofit and Moshi for API calls and Dagger for dependency injection. Were starting to use Coroutines for most new features. Room is our choice for persistence and we use repositories for interacting with data. Weve built out our design system with Compose.

We use GitHub Pull Requests to do code reviews and write unit tests for our ViewModels Coordinators and any other classes which contain logic. We write tests for all of our Compose screens and snapshot test them with Happo. We also use Espresso to test flows which are executed via our continuous integration system.

Weve previously written aboutbuilding Monzo Chaton Android which goes into detail on some of these elements.
