Learn how to build a high-performance video experience in React Native through a conference talk that shares production insights from Zalando's Video Experience team migration to React Native's new architecture. Discover why the team chose to avoid third-party video players and instead wrapped native components to create a custom Fabric-based video player from scratch. Explore how backend-client state synchronization requirements influenced key architectural decisions and understand the importance of defining meaningful video metrics such as autoplay time and jank rate for measuring performance. Master optimization techniques that reduced jank from 24% to 3% through lazy player creation, and implement backend and runtime optimizations including MP4 transcoding, prioritized loading, player pooling, and pre-warming strategies. Gain production-tested insights specifically valuable for developers building feed-based video experiences or planning brownfield migrations to React Native's new architecture in large-scale applications.
