The network that stands between our server and the client is what causes the most complexity in our development process. Whether it be the initial UI we generate on the server, the API calls we make as the user navigates around, or the form submissions our user makes, keeping the application responsive and up-to-date is a massive chore.What would it be like if all of that complexity just disappeared? Freaking great, that's what it would be like. And React Server Components and Actions are what's making that possible.

At Knock we power real-time in-app messaging experiences via our React SDK, enabling product teams to drop in components and have fully featured in-app notification feeds, modals, banners, and more instantly available. In this talk, we'll take a look at how we structured our React library in a composable way, giving teams the power to use our components out of the box, override styling with their own tokens, or bring their own UI components via hooks. We'll dive into how we structured our SDK to provide maximum flexibility for engineering teams, while preserving ease of maintenance.

While Refs are considered an escape hatch there are times when you might just need to use them.In this talk, with the help of real world examples, we will look at what Refs can do for us in terms of code clarity and also performance gains. Think along the lines of minimising renders and avoiding flickering UIs. We will cover the restrictions for safe usage and for those of you already using these patterns make sure you are prepared for the changes coming in React 19.
