## What they don't tell you about design systems
by Dmitry Belyaev

For the past couple of years, everyone in the front-end and design communities is talking about design systems. Usually, the main requirement is to build a component library for a modern product and therefore we focus on discussing best implementation practices for React components. However, there are so many challenging topics going way beyond React and tech implementation of the components when a system needs to be scaled for a large company. Let's see together what lies there and what it looks like to support a design system at scale.
