You don't need external libraries for global state management in React (prophet-bestman.hashnode.dev)

React Context + useReducer - Still to this day my favorite way of managing global state in React, no extra dependencies, no learning curve, it's all there built-in

Just curious - have you applied this in big React applications?

The reason I'm asking is because all context consumers get re-rendered immediately upon context value update. It might be ok for small apps but bigger apps can suffer.

Small to medium this can definitely work, large scale ( ex. Airbnb ) still works better with redux but i still see people misusing redux in smaller apps where you don't really need it

It's not just redux people really like to overengineer stuff nowadays
