Architecture

Mateu is intentionally simple at a high level:

1. backend code defines the UI
2. Mateu exposes that through a small API
3. a renderer turns it into a real browser UI

That separation makes Mateu a strong fit for:

• microservices
• stateless systems
• distributed UIs
• pluggable renderers

Real-world architecture

Mateu also fits naturally in hexagonal systems, where the UI is just another inbound adapter.
