What if the bottleneck was never the tools? What if it was never the launch path, the framework, or the deployment pipeline? When all of that gets easier—and it has—what's the thing that's actually holding you back? This session asks a question most conference talks skip: now that you can build anything, are you building the right size thing? Come ready to be uncomfortable.

The React Native ecosystem is changing fast, and AI is now influencing everything from code generation and testing to debugging, tooling, and app architecture. This panel brings together voices from across the community to ask what that shift really means for everyday RN developers: which AI and agent workflows are already useful, where the hype still outpaces the reality, and what skills will matter most in the next wave of mobile development. Expect a candid conversation about productivity, code quality, maintainability, and the practical changes teams will need to make as AI becomes part of the React Native workflow.

Every company runs React Native differently. Some rewrote an application from scratch, others integrated it in a brownfield scenario. Some tried other cross-platform solutions first and migrated to React Native, or vice versa. In this panel we bring together engineering leaders from companies running React Native at scale: millions of users, complex use cases, and real-world constraints. We'll dive into the decisions that actually mattered when shipping in production. How did React Native land in the organization in the first place? What did the first twelve months look like? What did they migrate to, or from, and why? And what would each team do differently today? This is the panel where the polished conference talks meet the production trade-offs nobody blogs about.
