Frontend At Scale - Experiences Using React In A Large Organization

Erik Wendel at ReactJS Day 2016

At SpareBank1, Norway's second largest bank, we've used React in production for about two years. This past year we've introduced both React and Redux to the largest branch of the organization - the online banking app for desktop. This means writing all new features in React, and gradually re-writing our old pages as their near their end-of-life. The interesting part is how we've lifted our frontend collaboration to the organizational level. We've created a shared component library - meaning hundreds of npm modules containing all you need to create a large and modern SPA. This includes having an automatically updated design guide utilizing these components, also serving as a platform for discussion between frontend devs, graphical and interaction designers. Having close to 150 developers and designers working together across 20+ teams and application - really is frontend at scale. This talk can be seen as a natural continuation of my 2015 ReactJS Day talk "How We Used React To Tame The SPA Beast", although having seen it is definitely not a requirement.
