Enter React
React is a JavaScript library created by Facebook. It was released in 2015 and is used to build user interfaces. It's a simple way to create dynamic web pages by combining HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
There are over 4 million websites built using React and a number of renowned companies are using it in 2022. Some of these companies include Facebook, Uber, Codecademy Instagram, Netflix, Dropbox, Skype and Airbnb:
Additionally, startups are preferring React due to its speed of development, ease of maintenance and simplicity. It is particularly popular in Fin-tech, Machine Learning, Health and Cyber-Security sectors.
Walturn is also proud to have adopted React for web development projects and launching ‘React as a Service’.
What is React as a Service
React as a Service (RaaS) is a proprietary architecture pattern developed by Walturn LLC. The goal of this architecture is to build web applications with confidence quality and consistency.
The principles of the architecture are:
Have smaller and simpler classes that have a unique purpose.
Better isolate components for testing. We shouldn't have to mock a lot of components to test specific functionality.
Maintain specific functionality without affecting other parts of the code. By decoupling code, we make each chunk less dependent on the other. This way, when we make changes, they will have less of an impact on the overall codebase.
Architecture
Let’s start off by defining what is an architecture in a web project. Web application architecture is a blueprint of simultaneous interactions between components, databases, middleware systems, user interfaces, and servers in an application.
It can also be described as the layout that logically defines the connection between the server and client-side for a better web experience.
The RaaS architecture archives:
Abstraction
Dependency Injection
Scalability
Modularity
SOLID principles
Testability
Documentation
Consistency
Layers
Components within the layered architecture pattern are organized into horizontal layers, each layer performing a specific role within the application. React as a Service Architecture has the following layers:
Data Layer: This layer interacts directly with an API. Data sources include Network Data Source, Disk Data Source and Repository.
Domain Layer: This layer changes the data provided by the API.
Presentation Layer: This layer presents the app content and causes events that modify the application’s state
The separation of these three layers is shown below:
Problems faced by Companies
The decisions you make regarding architecture will impact how fast you can deliver new features in the future and how well you can maintain the existing functionality with the latest language and SDK requirements.
A lot of companies face a recurring problem with their projects; difficulty to maintain and add new features. Bugs and crashes are a common sight for many.
And the biggest reason behind the project’s failure is Bad Engineering Practices. Developers usually focus on launching an MVP in the least amount of time, bypassing standard engineering procedures, tests, architecture maintenance.
Some of the common problems encountered by companies include:
Unstable project architecture that requires the codebase to be refactored constantly
Finding skilled talent at a modest price
Low flexibility with scaling and customizing teams according to product requirements
Can not re-use components to iterate new features, which makes scaling the website difficult
Maintain specific functionality without affecting codebase
How we are helping You
We follow the best Engineering practices to ensure architectural scalability, codebase maintainability, iteration, and a visual User Interface
Testing
We offer 100% test coverage which means that each line of code is thoroughly tested so that your application does not suffer from bugs or crashes.
Scalability
A scalable architecture to allow you to re-use components, add new features, reducing costs and development time. We will create a scalable architecture that will allow you to easily iterate features, saving you development costs, time and not requiring constant code refactoring
Fast Pace Development
While we adhere to strict engineering practices, we certainly do not slack behind and ensure MVP development in 3 months
Product Management
We will research your users, niche market and customer requirements in order to better understand your product requirements and offer solutions that aren’t only technically feasible but will also have a positive impact on your business.
