React Query Exposed by Its Maintainer

Talk: Dominik Dorfmeister - "React Query - the Bad Parts", React Day Berlin 2024

React Query is a popular library for managing asynchronous state — most often state returned from data fetching. Its popularity has grown significantly over the past few years, with nearly 20% of all React applications now using it.

In this talk, maintainer Dominik will explore the other side — the less favorable aspects of React Query and situations where it may not be the best fit. No library is perfect; every choice involves trade-offs. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of React Query's limitations and why it remains a compelling choice despite them.
