118: Mediator for Mobile

Jon and Allan discuss routing requests/events through mediator layers, structuring vertical slices, and adding middleware for caching, offline support, and resiliency. The discussion also covers dependency discoverability, developer experience, and scaling concerns in loosely coupled designs.

What you’ll learn

• How mediator request/response and event pipelines can simplify ViewModel-to-service communication.
• How middleware can centralize offline caching, retries, and cross-cutting behavior.
• Which scenarios are poor fits for mediator-heavy architectures.
