1. React Snapshot Testing: Pitfalls and Better Alternatives

   Sep 22, 2025

   Snapshot testing promises to automatically catch every unintended change to a component.

2. Edge Runtime vs Node Runtime in Next.js: When to Use What

   Sep 17, 2025

   The edge runtime promises minimal cold start times and global distribution, but gives up central Node APIs in exchange. The Node runtime offers full compatibility, but costs latency for globally distributed users. Deciding deliberately per route gets the best out of both models.

3. REST vs. GraphQL vs. tRPC in React Apps: Choosing the Right Data Layer

   Sep 13, 2025

   The choice of data layer decides type safety, caching behavior and how fast a React team ships new features.

7. Sharing Code Between React Web and React Native

   Aug 29, 2025

   Realistic code sharing between React web and React Native does not mean using the same components everywhere, it means deliberately separating what is platform agnostic from what cannot be. Business logic, types, API clients and validation share cleanly, interface components mostly do not. This article shows a working monorepo structure with real examples.
