React revolutionized frontend development by introducing a component-based architecture with powerful state management. After building dozens of production React applications—from small dashboards to enterprise-scale platforms serving millions of users—I’ve learned that understanding React’s state management deeply is the key to building performant, maintainable applications. This guide explains how React state actually works under the hood, based on real-world experience.
Understanding State in React State represents data that changes over time. When state changes, React automatically updates the UI to reflect the new data.
Cloudflare Workers represent a paradigm shift in serverless computing, executing code at the edge in over 300 locations worldwide.
