React is powerful, but scaling requires discipline. Here are patterns we have refined over years of development. Architecture: 1. Component organization by feature 2. Custom hooks for logic reuse 3. Context for global state 4. Lazy loading for performance Performance Tips: 1. Memoize expensive calculations 2. Virtualize long lists 3. Optimize bundle size 4. Use proper key management State Management: - Local state for UI - Context for global themes - Redux/Zustand for complex state - React Query for server state
