React Native Performance Measuring and Monitoring Tools
Blog post from Semaphore
React Native apps require ongoing performance monitoring to ensure new features do not introduce regressions, and a variety of tools can help achieve this by identifying bottlenecks and understanding root causes of performance issues. The React Native Profiler and Performance Monitor provide real-time metrics for JS threads, UI threads, Native Modules, and Render threads, while Shopify's React Native Performance Profiler Suite, including libraries for navigation and list performance, offers a comprehensive breakdown of render and interactivity times. Firebase Performance Monitoring, integrated with Firebase Crashlytics, enables post-release performance tracking without complex telemetry setups, and LogRocket combines session replay, error tracking, and product analytics for effective issue reporting. Sentry, known for automatic native crash detection, offers full-stack monitoring with extensive integration capabilities, although it may deliver excessive information at times. Incorporating these tools into a CI/CD pipeline can help detect performance issues early, enhancing the user experience.
