React Native and Badoo story of a massive experiment
summary
Badoo tests whether React Native can replace multiple native stacks to run fast A/B experiments across 119 languages and hundreds of millions of users, building quick prototypes that demo side‑by‑side performance and convincing managers with time‑savings claims. Teams merge (Windows Phone engineers join mobile), tooling relies on Redux inspection, code push for live updates and Facebook’s Yoga layout, and navigation/native integration is the main engineering hurdle. The experiment is live in limited production but results are still pending.
