React Native is a JavaScript framework developed by Facebook that enables developers to create native applications for iOS and Android using React. It allows developers to use the same codebase to create apps on multiple platforms, while still taking advantage of the native components of each platform. It also provides a set of tools and libraries that allow developers to quickly build and deploy their applications.

Raising the Bar: Our Journey Making React Native a Preferred Choice
At Microsoft, we're committed to providing our teams with the best tools and technologies to build high-quality mobile applications. React Native has long been a preferred choice for its high performance and great user experience, but getting stakeholders on board can be a challenge. In this talk, we will share our journey of making React Native a preferred choice for stakeholders who prioritize ease of integration and developer experience. We'll discuss the specific strategies we used to achieve our goal and the results we achieved.

How Do We Use React Native at Mattermost. Architecture and Design
At Mattermost we use React Native for our app. It is a fairly complex project with more than 100.000 lines of code, with plenty of challenges, like performance, reliability or offline support.
This talk will cover some of those challenges and several design decisions we have made so far to address them, along some other decisions to keep the code base readable and navigable.

Mastering Mobile DevOps: Leveraging React Native for High Performance
In the dynamic realm of software development, successful industry leaders share a common proficiency in four pivotal metrics: Deployment Frequency, Lead Time for Changes, Time to Restore Service, and Change Failure Rate. Yet, achieving high performance in these areas within the mobile world presents unique challenges. This talk delves into the depth of best practices and innovative technologies within React Native and mobile DevOps ecosystems, all aimed at our ultimate goal: the continuous delivery of value to our users.

The day I broke React Native
4th November 2022 - It was just a regular day for the "release crew" as we were approaching to prepare the first release candidate for React Native 0.71. Little did we know how an innocuous release could have triggered a domino effect resulting in failing builds for nearly every React Native developer out there.
With the wisdom of hindsight, we'll walk through what happened, what are our lessons learned and the lowlights of this incident. We'll have the opportunity to look through the internals of React Native, discover our incident-response culture, and learn how we're hardening our ecosystem to protect us against similar events in the future.  
Join me as we revive this incident, and don't miss this opportunity to gain insights, be inspired, and embrace the lessons learned from the day I broke React Native.

Wait, You're Shipping React Native to the Web?!
This talk focuses on building a production-grade consumer social application - https://guild.host . If you visit that site, would you be able to tell it's built using React Native just by looking and using it?

At a high level, Taz talks about what makes that possible and how the audience should consider application architecture.

At a lower level, Taz focuses on:
- How React's component composition model makes accommodating multiple platforms easy
- How large applications should use a Design System, and the Tamagui Design System comes with an optimizing compiler that outputs straight platform-specific code while the developer still writes high-level UI that happens to utilize React Native's components
- How to Server-Side Render a React Native Web application, and what considerations Guild made when choosing to create a custom SSR engine on top of Cloudflare Workers
- In order for Guild to exist anywhere, they need to embed themselves into other experiences. This involves Third-Party React Native on the Web and other platforms
- The future of this architecture, where Third-Party UI is the same as First-Party UI

“Microfrontends” for Mobile in React Native
Scaling has always been an issue in software development. Architects have been grappling to solve this problem on many layers. In the early 2000s, a concept of “micro-services” started popping up - a system could be split up by business domain into a number of smaller loosely-coupled services. 
More recently, this concept has started being adopted by the frontend community. An app could be split into multiple sub-apps, each with their own teams, technologies, and codebases. Companies like Spotify, Amazon, and Microsoft have adopted this approach and it has helped them scale even faster.
In the world of mobile development, the question arises: “Can we create Microfrontends for mobile apps?”.

Code Signing React Native Apps
You've built a React Native app and now it's time to get it in the hands of your users. If you're used to web, dealing with mobile-specific deployment issues can be a struggle. There are native build hardware and config requirements, signing certificates, app store approvals, app versions, pushing updates, and more. You also have to consider all the tooling options -- do you manually deploy on your own, use a React Native-specific solution, or try to configure web CI/CD for mobile? This crash course will outline the build and ship process and review some common tools in the React Native ecosystem so you can feel confident deploying and get back to developing.

Bringing the New React Native Architecture to the OSS Community - Fall Edition
At the end of 2021, we successfully rolled out the New React Native Architecture in the Facebook app. Now, it’s time to empower every React Native developer on the globe to use the New React Native Architecture, both the new Fabric renderer and the new TurboModule system. But migrating an entire ecosystem to a New Architecture is no easy task. To support the whole community in this endeavor, we lined up a set of tools and materials that will help both app and library developers to join us in this journey. In the talk, we will present how the New React Native Architecture looks in the OSS space. We will discuss the impact this will have on developing React Native projects. Lastly, we will cover what we learned from the React Native New Architecture migration at Meta, and how you can tackle your migration in your organization.

Automated Performance Regression Testing with Reassure
As developers we love to dive into performance metrics, benchmarks, compare one solution to another. Whether we enjoy it or not, we’re often required to fix performance issues in our React and React Native apps. But this process is not sustainable and prone to regressions, especially as the app and team grow. What’s worse, those issues are often discovered by your users, making their experience miserable. In my talk I’ll introduce you to Reassure—a performance regression testing library for React and React Native— which happens to be a missing piece in our automated testing and performance suites. Spotting problems before they hit production.
