Silent Infrastructure: What Shipping SDKs to 3 Billion Devices Taught Me About Privacy & Performance
★ 𝐃𝐄𝐒𝐂𝐑𝐈𝐏𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍
--------------------------
Every Android app ships with 20-50 SDKs. Most developers never think about them—until they break something. A bloated SDK tanks your build time. A privacy violation tanks your Play Store listing. A poorly documented API tanks your weekend.
I've spent 12+ years on both sides of this problem—building SDKs at Google Firebase (serving 3M+ developers), Snap Kit (300M+ daily users), and LinkedIn (1B+ members), and watching developers struggle to integrate them. This talk distills those years into actionable engineering principles for building SDKs that are private by design, performant by default, and invisible by intention.
★ 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐘𝐎𝐔'𝐋𝐋 𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐍
--------------------------------------
𝟏. 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐜𝐲 𝐚𝐬 𝐀𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞, 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞
How to embed privacy into your SDK's DNA—not bolt it on as an afterthought.
𝟐. 𝐌𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐬 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐡𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞
Why monolithic SDKs fail, and how API/Implementation separation, feature modules, and tree-shaking let developers take only what they need. Code examples from production SDKs.
𝟑. 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐈𝐬 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭
The subtle design decisions that make developers choose your SDK over alternatives—from error messages that actually help, to migration paths that don't require a rewrite.
★ 𝐊𝐄𝐘 𝐓𝐀𝐊𝐄𝐀𝐖𝐀𝐘𝐒
--------------------------------
✅ Practical patterns for building scalable SDK architecture
✅ Strategies for balancing performance, security, and ease of integration

★ 𝐖𝐇𝐎 𝐒𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐃 𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐃
----------------------------------------
Android engineers building or integrating SDKs, platform architects, technical leads responsible for mobile infrastructure, and anyone who's ever wondered why that one dependency added 4 seconds to their build.
