Best Practices for React State Management

By Sarah Chen2024-02-15

What are your thoughts on using Redux vs Context API for state management in React applications? I've been working on several medium to large-scale applications and I'm curious about the community's experience with different state management solutions.

In my experience, Context API is great for smaller applications or when you need to share state between a few components. However, Redux becomes more valuable in larger applications where you need more robust state management features like middleware, dev tools, and better performance optimization.

I've found that Zustand offers a great middle ground. It's simpler than Redux but more powerful than Context API. Worth considering as an alternative!
