# How Yelp Keeps Server-Driven UI Consistent Across Four Platforms

**[Yelp Engineering](https://daily.dev/sources/yelp)** · 11 min read · 2 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Yelp's engineering team explains how they extended their CHAOS server-driven UI framework to integrate with Cookbook, their cross-platform design system, using an auto-generated bridge library called Konbini. A single JSON interface definition for each component automatically generates four platform-specific libraries (Python for backend, Kotlin for Android, Swift for iOS, TypeScript/React for Web), ensuring consistent serialization and deserialization across all clients. The post covers how tokens (colors, icons, etc.) are handled, and how a versioning and migration system ensures backward compatibility when component interfaces change — allowing older app versions to continue working as components evolve.
