React Rally: Animated — React Performance Toolbox

vjeux Facebook, Javascript 2015-09-12

I talk about various strategies to improve the performance of your React app: shouldComponentUpdate, Static Container, Element Caching, Raw DOM Mutations and finally, Data Binding, which is powering the Animated API.

I go over their respective trade-offs as sadly there is no perfect solution. Hopefully you can use the ones that make sense in your context.
