Lessons from Shopify's Migration to React Native with Mustafa Ali | React Universe On Air #46
In 2020, Shopify decided to switch to React Native for both new and existing apps. In November 2024, the migration of their mobile app was officially over, resulting in a remarkable 86% unification of code across platforms and a streamlined development process that stems from eliminating 1.8 million lines of redundant code, reducing build times, and achieving seamless feature parity between iOS and Android.
Let’s take a closer look at the decision-making process involved in this transformation with Mike Grabowski (@grabbou at X) as our host and Mustafa Ali (@mustafa01ali at X), Shopify's Director of Engineering, as his guest.
Learn about the motivations for this change, such as reducing duplicated efforts and enabling seamless developer collaboration across web and mobile, the challenges faced, particularly in optimizing performance for their high-usage point-of-sale app, and the essential role of native developers in ensuring exceptional app performance and user experience.
