Yahoo Mail Redux Architecture Enhancements

1 post · Apr 2018

What this trail covers

Yahoo Mail has implemented novel revisions to its Redux architecture, introducing 'action syncers' to decouple API interactions from action creators and 'action enhancers' middleware to avoid prop drilling for action dispatching. These changes have led to significant stability and performance improvements, including reduced latencies, fewer JavaScript exceptions, better state synchronization, reduced API calls, and improved rendering times. The architecture now separates API concerns from action creators and optimizes side effect handling.

  1. Achieving Major Stability and Performance Improvements in Yahoo Mail with a Novel Redux ArchitectureIntroduced '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%.
