Best practices for building large React applications
May 7, 2015 5:41 pmSift Science has been using React in production for almost a year now. In that time, we grew our application from a Backbone + React frankenstein hybrid app into one fairly large hierarchy of React components. In this post, we’ll describe some techniques and best practices that have helped us scale our UI code base with minimal friction. We’ll also walk through some common component design patterns.Hopefully this post will save you time and sanity and provide you with some new tools for maintaining a React code base that builds on itself (instead of breaking down) as the complexity of the UI grows.

That product had a very simple interface: we provided one API for sending data about user behavior and another to query the fraud score of a user. But as our customer base grew, we needed better internal tools to debug and surface customer issues.
