The day I broke React Native
Watch video: 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.

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.
