React Context - Lessons Learned
summary
Unicorn upgrades its mobile-first frontend UU5 to use React 16.3 Context for theming, multi-language, SPA layout and component communication, claiming Context replaces Redux/MobX for many cases. Provider values live in component state to avoid useless re-renders, split contexts reduce churn, and consumers render thousands per page without obvious slowdown. A document authoring product Bukit uses per-section language contexts (hundreds of sections) and the approach proves fast and maintainable in production.
