The past, present and future of Nitro
Marc Rousavy
Marc Rousavy is CEO at Margelo, a high-end React Native app development agency. Marc is also a React Native core contributor and maintainer of a lot of popular open-source libraries in the React Native ecosystem such as react-native-vision-camera, Nitro Modules, and react-native-mmkv.
Nitro has become the foundation for some of the most powerful React Native libraries today. Marc Rousavy (CEO at Margelo, creator of VisionCamera and MMKV) traces the story of Nitro: from its origins in JSI experiments to its role in powering high-performance libraries like react-native-filament, MMKV, and soon VisionCamera.
▪ Lessons learned from early JSI host objects in MMKV and VisionCamera
▪ Why boilerplate, threading issues, and crashes led to building Nitro
▪ How Nitro simplifies bindings with strong typing, thread safety, and code generation (Nitrogen)
▪ Using Nitro to bridge C++, Swift, and Kotlin seamlessly
▪ Nitro’s growing ecosystem: Nitro Image, MMKV rewrite, Filament, and more
▪ What the future holds as VisionCamera is migrated to Nitro
In short, this talk shows how Nitro is shaping the next generation of native modules.
