React applications often assume predictable environments — stable networks, ordered responses, and linear state transitions. But real-world systems don’t behave that way.
What happens when your React app communicates with something unreliable — streaming data, AI pipelines, background processes, or hardware devices that disconnect without warning?
In this talk, I’ll share a production case study of architecting reliable React Native systems in highly asynchronous environments. Using Bluetooth communication as an extreme stress test, we’ll explore how to design deterministic state transitions, prevent race conditions, avoid retry storms, and keep UI truth aligned with external system reality.
This session focuses on architecture and reliability patterns — not just libraries — and offers practical strategies for building resilient, production-grade React systems when the world outside your UI refuses to behave.
