HyperOTA: An Open-Source Cross-Platform Solution for Seamless Over-the-Air Updates
In today’s fast-moving mobile landscape, user expectations evolve quickly and development teams must iterate faster than ever. Coupled with the rise of AI-generated UX and code-gen, the ability to deliver real-time updates without waiting for app store approvals has become critical. OTA (over-the-air) updates are no longer a luxury—they're a necessity for maintaining agility, relevance, and quality in production apps.
HyperOTA is designed to meet this challenge. It extends the capabilities of traditional code push systems and empowers developers to deliver incremental updates—including UI changes, logic patches, new features, application configurations and content — without forcing an app update.
Designed to deliver file updates of any type (e.g., plain JS, React, images or just about anything else) across different environments - React Native, and native iOS/Android, etc.,, HyperOTA ensures wide compatibility and developer flexibility. Whether you're managing a high-scale consumer app or a widely used SDK, HyperOTA is built to be your roll-out backbone.
Key Features:
- Intelligent Caching: Delivers only modified assets, reducing bandwidth and cloud usage.
- Version Rollbacks: Instantly revert to a known stable version.
- Targeted Deployments: Push updates to custom cohorts, devices, or environments.
- Safe Deployments: Use AB rollout strategies with metric-based ramp-up and rollback.
- Modular Downloads: Supports bundling code splits and resources for efficient delivery.
- Background Updates: Downloads updates silently and applies them on app restart.
- Security & Integrity: Ensures code signing and checksum validation for safe updates.
- Conditional Updates: Configurable as mandatory or optional based on urgency. X
- Cross-Platform Support: Works seamlessly with React Native, Flutter, and native stacks.
- Analytics: Tracks install success, adoption rates, and user impact metrics.
HyperOTA enables teams to ship confidently in production while retaining full control over what gets deployed, when, and to whom. In a world where speed and adaptability define user success, this solution sort of becomes a must-have! This presentation will cover a deep dive into the design and architecture of HyperOTA, our learnings from using this at scale in Juspay and a demonstration of its powerful and safe roll-out capabilities

The talk has good technical relevance and FOSS use case. I request proper framing of the key takeaways though. It currently has more salesy tone.
Interesting and technically hard project that can be rewarding for companies. I like this talk.
I am marking it as Skipped as I couldn't clearly understand the solution proposed.

While the premise of the talk sound interesting, it's unclear who the target audience is and the structure of the talk.
The talk introduces HyperOTA - mechanism to assist developers to push updates to a mobile device. The highlight of this solution is the platform independence to ensure a diverse compatibility. The speaker must also include the performance and compare it with the existing state of the art mechanism. Interesting talk for the conference.
I believe this would do much better as a lightning talk. There is much detail you could get into, but most of it doesn't have much relevance for our audience. You could avoid getting salesy or trying to sell people on your specific project by just doing a quick introduction and allow people to continue the conversation outside the talk. This is a practical project that does fulfill a need, but it's fairly niche for our wide audience.
If it is at all possible to do a quick demo or do a quick "here's the problem and this is the solution" within 10 minutes. This could make for a very good lightning talk.
