React Native vs. Red Hat Application Foundations

We are implementing React Native framework for the development of the Front-End for the machine learning models maintenance and monitoring website. It provides meaningful error messages, and time-saving and robust tools make it a premium choice over other platforms. Moreover, it provides intelligent debugging tools and error report mechanisms. And most importantly for us, it provides the aesthetic minimal functionality to learn in order to implement it, thereby eliminating the need to work in Xcode or Android Studio for iOS or Android apps respectively.

Incentivized

• Customized Components
• State Management
• Extensibility
• Usage and Community

Incentivized

• Performance is still lower than native app development (Kotlin, Swift, etc.)
• Not efficient design-wise (if you are planning to implement some advanced design, then you should reconsider the approach provided by React Native)
• Issues with the update to the last release of React Native

Incentivized

Decision for React Native came mainly from the big popularity of the framework. Thus, we had a big base of resources we could come back to. We also used it because it is a javascript framework. Thus, we could utilize the already existing experience in javascript and web development to ensure a smoother implementation of the app.

Incentivized

• Decreased the development process time via robust and easy-to-use platform
• Easier to debug with a provided intelligent tool as well as error-prone messages, which allows developing in a paced manner for the decreased Time-To-Market
• Reusable code base can directly impact lead time and thereby on ROI in a positive manner
