There isn’t much literature about the internal workings of Compose, the amazing declarative framework which allows you to build not only Android apps but also cross-platform applications. In this article, I would like to explain the core concepts of how Compose works internally. This is going to be a very theoretical exploration, but I’ve created flowcharts to help build a mental model. I’ve skimmed over some parts that I thought weren’t crucial for understanding Compose’s internal mechanics.

If you seek to unlock the potential of a powerful trifecta — Ktor, PostgreSQL, and Docker — in your pursuit of seamless deployment, you’ve come to the right place.
