The document outlines best practices for building large, scalable applications using React, emphasizing the importance of TypeScript, test-driven development, and API management. Key topics include workflow strategies, the use of feature flags for risk management in production, and approaches to handling runtime errors. The overall recommendation is to automate processes, validate data consistently, and utilize modern hosting solutions like Azure for efficient deployment.

- 47. Feature Flags A simple feature flag system is not hard But can become quite elaborate Consider using a service like Azure App Configuration Or a service like LaunchDarkly © ABL - The Problem Solver 47

- 51. Runtime errors © ABL - The Problem Solver 51
- 52. Runtime errors Runtime errors need to be tracked There is no code without bugs Features like LocalStorage will be disabled for some users Services like Azure Application Insights or Sentry.io works well Tracks unhandled exceptions Add an Error Boundary and track component errors © ABL - The Problem Solver 52

- 56. Conclusion TypeScript is a must have For any serious development Use BLOB storage & CDN Easy, fast and cheap hosting Test-driven development prevents bugs Use an End to End tool like Cypress API types and updates Automate the client types Always validate the incoming data Workflow Use small and very short lived branches Use feature flags to hide new code in production Runtime errors will happen Make sure you track them © ABL - The Problem Solver 56
