State Management Explained: Redux, Zustand, Jotai & More

State management choices shape app complexity. Use local component state when possible, and adopt global stores when multiple parts of the app need shared data.

Popular options

• Redux — predictable state container, strong ecosystem
• Zustand — minimal, hook-based store
• Jotai — atom-based state with fine-grained updates

How to choose

Prefer simpler solutions first; measure complexity and adopt more powerful tools only as needs grow.
