When React Meets Rock: Building Safe and Performant UI for Live Entertainment

At TAIT, we build the full automation stack behind the world's biggest live experiences, from the systems that move stages and fly performers to the React interface that operators use to control them. Our frontends can't lag, freeze, or crash while hardware is moving, or someone can get hurt. This talk covers the architecture and performance patterns behind that interface, and what it teaches us about building any React app where failure isn’t an option.
