Welcome to Issue #8! This week, we're moving past "How do I build this?" and into "How do I manage this at scale?" If you’ve ever felt the cold sweat of pushing an Over-the-Air (OTA) update to a production app, the first two entries in today’s issue are for you. Expo has released a definitive OTA Playbook, and we take a look at how OneSpot uses automation to manage over 200 apps without breaking a sweat (or touching a laptop). On the performance front, Aiden Bai (creator of Million.js) just launched React Doctor. It’s a CLI tool that acts as a general practitioner for your codebase, diagnosing performance issues before they become emergencies. We also have a new member of the TanStack family—Hotkeys—and a major Sentry release that finally brings top-tier observability to the React Native New Architecture. Let’s get your apps ship-shape!
