🗣️ Talks

➡️ Measuring Design Systems: Defining Components and Evaluating Adoption by Donnie D'amato.
Quantifying design system adoption is never as straightforward as it seems. What actually “counts” as a component, and how do we measure coverage across an experience? While many teams try to put numbers to these questions, the reality is messy: definitions are fuzzy, ownership is unclear, and metrics often fail to capture the whole picture. In this talk, we’ll explore the challenges of measuring components in design systems — from coverage metrics to questions of responsibility — and discuss why a shared understanding is just as important as the numbers themselves.

➡️ How to Build a Paywall Builder: the tech behind 100M+ daily paywalls by Kirill Potekhin
Paywalls are the critical part of mobile apps monetization. Adapty serves thousands of paywalls to millions of users. In this talk, I'll share:

1. How we built the paywall rendering on the SDK
2. Why we went native over HTML
3. How we managed to deliver sub-second paywall loading time for the 97th percentile across 100m+ requests per day without spending hundreds of thousands on the infrastructure

We'll also share paywall insights that help increase conversion.
