How micro apps are revolutionising the app development process

This is a TechGig Exclusive Interview of Vikram Ghadge, CEO at Open Infotech. The mobility focused startup organisation builds mobile apps on various platforms. In this interview, Vikram talks about micro app development, why businesses should focus on microapps and what approach developers need to follow for developing micro apps.

#1. What is a micro app?

A micro app allows you to use multiple technologies to build an application and it may consist of more than one technology or framework according to their functional use. It allows you to construct every function with their best-suited tech without impacting other functionality. Micro app will help you utilise different technologies for different functionality. It is because this application can perform more efficiently than other applicants.

#2. How end users can benefit from micro apps?

Offering new features and seamless experience to end users is very important. To stay ahead of competition, every app needs to be updated. They need to be built using standard technology which supports latest frameworks. The new iteration of a micro app does not start from scratch for every major update, this allows users to get access to the latest functionality at the earliest.

#3. How can micro apps transform existing apps?

It needs to be understood that not all apps can be converted into a micro app. The framework which is used to build these apps needs to support microapp structure and ideology. It completely depends on the underlying framework or project structure to convert the app to micro apps. Each module dependency is a major hurdle in building the micro app. You can overcome modular dependency using micro apps.

#4. What developers need to know about micro apps?

For creating a micro app, you need to choose the architecture that supports a modular approach. Each module can be converted into micro apps as needed.

Developers first need to understand the basics of micro apps. All apps cannot be developed as a micro app. As far as technology is concerned, the developer needs to finalise what framework can be used for app development, which supports microamps. Having long term planning for the app development cycle will increase the success rate of any product. You can't follow POC or MVP approach for micro app development.

#5. What advice would you give to aspiring job seekers looking for a job role in mobile app development field?

I have worked with many freshers and found one common thing with all developers. They all lack the basic knowledge of mobile app development. As far as micro apps are concerned, it will help job seekers to improve their knowledge about mobile app development and increase their chances of finding a better opportunity.
