Deploy Your React App to AWS with GitHub Actions: The Complete CI/CD Guide for 2026

If you’re still manually running npm run build and dragging files into an S3 bucket every time you push an update, you’re wasting hours every month. Worse, you’re leaving room for human error — wrong file uploaded, cache not cleared, stale content reaching production, missing environment variables. The professional solution is a proper CI/CD (Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment) pipeline that handles all of this automatically, every single time. In this comprehensive guide, you’ll build a production-grade pipeline that takes your React application from a simple GitHub push to a live, globally-distributed production deployment on AWS — all without lifting […]

Modern State Management: Evaluating Redux Toolkit, TanStack Query, and Zustand

State Management: For React developers, one question always pops up: ‘What’s the best way to handle state in my app?’ 🤔 React developers have plenty of options, but three libraries consistently shine in real-world applications: 🟥 Redux Toolkit (RTK)🟦 React Query (TanStack Query)🟩 Zustand 🟥 Redux Toolkit (RTK) Redux has been a staple in React development for years. While some developers swear by it, others dread its verbose boilerplate. Enter Redux Toolkit — transforming Redux into a much smoother and more enjoyable experience. ✅ When to Use Example ⚠️ Watch Out 🟦 TanStack Query (React Query) React Query isn’t your […]

Modern React Development with TanStack

The TanStack Query ecosystem of tools is a powerful and modern stack that enables developers to build highly functional full-stack applications. The ecosystem is powered by Vinxi, a JavaScript SDK that streamlines full-stack app development with Vite, ensuring deployment across any environment where JavaScript runs. TanStack delivers a top-tier front-end developer experience while also offering robust back-end capabilities, giving you the best of both worlds. Why Choose TanStack Query? 1. Simplified Server State Management Unlike global state managers such as Redux or MobX, which are primarily focused on client state, TanStack Query is purpose-built for managing server state. This removes […]

Why Zustand Works Better Than Redux Toolkit in React

As a developer who’s faced a wide range of frontend challenges, choosing the right state management solution became crucial for both my efficiency and peace of mind. Over the years, I’ve experimented with various tools—starting with the classic Redux, moving through the Context API, and eventually adopting Redux Toolkit. While Redux Toolkit was a notable improvement over its predecessor, everything changed when I discovered Zustand. It immediately clicked with me. In this post, I’ll share my personal journey and explain why Zustand ultimately became my go-to over Redux Toolkit. First Encounter with Redux Toolkit When I first used Redux several […]

React Native Performance with useCallback

useCallback is a hook that allows you to optimize the performance of your React Native app by memoizing a function. This means that the function will only be re-created if one of its dependencies has changed. Performance optimization is crucial for creating a smoother user experience in modern web development. React, a popular JavaScript library for building user interfaces, provides several Hooks to help developers manage state and side effects efficiently. One such Hook is useCallback(), which plays a vital role in optimizing functional components by memoizing callback functions. Whether you are a new React developer or someone looking to get more knowledge, this guide will provide […]
