Atomic design no contexto de desenvolvimento: um relato de experiência.

Abstract

The importance of Atomic Design in software development is vaguely discussed in academic circles, but it is important to emphasize the value of a design system that establishes guidelines for creating user interfaces and facilitates the development of web applications. Atomic Design allows for the creation of a component system that follows a well-defined hierarchy, resulting in the construction of flexible interfaces. However, this flexibility and scalability may not be as simple to implement and have some limitations. In order to observe how Atomic Design can be used as a methodology that facilitates the way of thinking and organizing projects, this work reports the experience of adapting the guidelines of Atomic Design in a confidential e-commerce application; this is an internal project for managing and integrating APIs of a private company. Additionally, some general evaluation criteria are proposed for analyzing the strategy. The overall objective is to highlight success factors, difficulties, and negative aspects of the model in view of its practical application.
