React Native Connection 2024 - Maël Giret - Enhancing Memory Performance in Android TV Applications
Filmed at React Native Connection on April 2024. Find more talks of our conferences and meetups on 👉 https://async.techconnection.io/ 👈.
In this talk, I’ll share our journey of developing a streaming video app for Android TV used by millions of users, where we faced a stringent challenge: keeping RAM usage under 200MB. Was RN up to the task? Spoiler alert: it was! Let me take you though our journey of debugging & optimizing memory usage, which even involved delving into the workings of Hermes’ garbage collector. It has been one of the most challenging tasks I’ve encountered. You will gain a clearer comprehension of memory management in React Native, armed with knowledge to tackle similar challenges in your projects and enhance your app’s performance.
