  • Mastering State Management in React Native with Zustand: A Modern Guide
    1 project | dev.to | 7 Oct 2025
    State management is a cornerstone of building robust React Native(RN) apps, but it’s often a source of complexity and performance bottlenecks, especially on resource-constrained mobile devices. Redux, once the gold standard, can feel like overkill with its boilerplate and heavy dependencies. Enter Zustand, a lightweight, hook-based state management library that’s taking the RN community by storm in 2025. With React Native 0.80 and 0.81 pushing modern architectures like Fabric and Hermes, Zustand’s simplicity and performance make it a perfect fit for mobile apps.
