How does Kotlin manage dependency graphs in large applications?
Updated May 16, 2026
Short answer
Dependency graphs are managed using DI frameworks like Hilt or Koin with compile-time or runtime resolution.
Deep explanation
Kotlin applications construct dependency graphs where objects depend on abstractions instead of implementations. Hilt uses compile-time code generation to build graphs, ensuring correctness at build time. This improves performance and reduces runtime errors compared to reflection-based injection.
