Cross-Platform Performance Optimization Strategies for Large-Scale Mobile Applications
Main Article Content
Abstract
Mobile applications that are large-scale, run across the public and privately, are required to achieve consistent performance when operating with the heterogeneous devices and operating systems, as well as network conditions. Cross-platform frameworks like React Native allow a developer to create applications quickly and reuse the code, but they also create performance bottlenecks as the applications reach millions of users. This paper discusses cross-platform performance optimization measures of large scale mobile apps, empirical evidence of which has been provided by high-traffic and mission-critical deployments in the public service setting. The study examines techniques such as architectural and implementation-level techniques such as memoization of components, state isolation, reduction of native bridge interactions, asynchronous rendering pipelines and advanced memory management practices.
Based on practical case studies, the paper explains how disciplined performance engineering is a direct enhancement of the key system performance metrics which include UI responsiveness, application startup latency, battery consumption, and runtime stability at peak load condition. The findings show that the proactive optimization of the performance does not just enhance the end-user experience, but also enhances the reliability of the system, the accessibility and the long-term maintainability of the system which are pertinent to the applications which need to support applications with high-user base and workflows which cannot be deferred.
The study also emphasizes on the significance of performance profiling, monitoring and scalability planning at all stages of application lifecycle especially during peak hours. The synthesized best practices related to cross-platform optimization make this research valuable to architects and developers of large-scale mobile systems required to be efficient, resilient and compliant in challenging operational conditions.
