React Native is an open source framework by Meta that enables developers to create mobile apps for iOS and Android using one JavaScript codebase. It seamlessly connects web development with native mobile, allowing simultaneous deployment on both platforms while maintaining a native app experience.
Manjiri Moghe, a Staff Software Engineer at Coinbase, has spent five years enhancing one of the most demanding React Native applications. Her expertise includes performance optimization, reliability engineering, and developer tools that allow large teams to move quickly while ensuring quality.
In this episode, Manjiri talks with Josh Goldberg about why React Native is the preferred framework for fast-paced mobile teams, how Coinbase monitors app health, handling data fetching and loading in production, the impact of AI coding agents on mobile engineers’ workflows, and more.
Josh Goldberg is a full-time open source developer specializing in TypeScript, working on projects like typescript-eslint, which allows ESLint and Prettier to run on TypeScript code. A Microsoft MVP and author of “Learning TypeScript” by O’Reilly, Josh contributes to open source projects like ESLint and TypeScript and delivers talks and workshops on TypeScript, static analysis, open source, and web development.
