Helping Decision-Makers Say Yes to KMP

At Touchlab, we spend a lot of time talking (and writing) about Kotlin Multiplatform in technical terms: architecture, tooling, native developer experience, Swift interoperability, and how to make KMP work well in production.

But adoption starts before implementation. Even before engineers decide to adopt. It starts when a decision-maker says yes.

We are excited to publish a new article to the JetBrains blog Helping Decision-Makers Say Yes to Kotlin Multiplatform. We’ve had this conversation with the community and clients many times: KMP adoption is not driven by developer enthusiasm alone. It moves forward when leaders see a clear case for measurable business value.

KMP is compelling because it helps teams reduce duplicated work across iOS and Android while still preserving native UI and native developer workflows. For decision-makers, that means a stronger path to faster delivery, less rework, and better long-term maintainability.

In the new article, Justin and Sam frame KMP around measurable outcomes, including the potential for 40–60% less code and 15–30% faster release cycles. They also point to examples from companies using KMP in meaningful ways, showing that the case for KMP is backed by years of reality.

The Touchlab team has a distinct perspective. We are deeply involved in the Kotlin Multiplatform ecosystem, but we also work directly with companies making real investment decisions. We help teams answer the hard questions about budget, risk, developer experience, and long-term strategy before moving forward.
