We hold no reseller commission on React. That is what makes the trade-off line above worth reading. It costs us nothing to tell you when this is the wrong choice.

Building with React

React is strongest at the largest ecosystem and the deepest hiring pool. We reach for it when that is the property a workload actually depends on, and we say so when it is not.

React's decisive advantage in India is hiring. The talent pool is deep at every level, which matters more for a system's five-year maintainability than any technical property of the framework itself.

Its unopinionated nature cuts both ways. A disciplined team produces something maintainable; an undisciplined one produces four state management approaches in the same codebase. The architecture has to come from the team, not the library.

Integration comes before intelligence. A model that cannot reach your systems of record is a demo with good manners. Six weeks to something running in production, not six quarters to a strategy document.

Questions

What is React best at?

The largest ecosystem and the deepest hiring pool.

When would you not use React?

Unopinionated enough that architecture discipline has to come from the team. We would look at Vercel AI SDK or LangGraph in that situation.

Do you have a commercial relationship with React?

No. We hold no reseller commission on any technology we recommend, which is what lets the trade-off above be stated plainly.

Can you work with our existing React setup?

Yes. We would rather extend and stabilise something that already works than introduce a parallel system your team has to learn.

Working with React?

Tell us the workload and we will tell you whether this is the right tool for it.
