Achieving Major Stability and Performance Improvements in Yahoo Mail with a Novel Redux Architecture
Apr 18, 2018
Summary
Introduced 'action syncers' to decouple API interactions from action creators, allowing for independent evolution of API layers and action creators. Implemented 'action enhancers' middleware to avoid prop drilling for action dispatching by adding data to action payloads. These changes resulted in reduced API calls by ~20%, decreased API errors by 20-30%, and improved frame rendering by ~40%.
