Redux

What is it?

Redux is an open-source state management library created by Dan Abramov and Andrew Clark. It provides a single, centralized store to manage application state with strict rules for how state can change.

What does it do?

Redux manages shared state through actions, reducers, and a single store. It ensures predictable updates, time-travel debugging, easy testing, and clear separation of concerns. Modern Redux commonly uses Redux Toolkit for reduced boilerplate.

Where is it used?

Redux is widely used in large-scale frontend applications, React and React Native apps, dashboards, SaaS platforms, and systems with complex state interactions that require consistency and debuggability.

When & why it emerged

Redux emerged in 2015 to address state complexity in growing JavaScript applications. It was inspired by Flux and functional programming concepts to provide a predictable, scalable state model.

Why we use it at Internative

We use Redux for applications with complex, cross-cutting state and long-term maintenance needs. Its predictability, tooling, and ecosystem help us build robust, scalable frontend systems.
