jotai VS zedux

Daishi Kato, creator of Zustand and Jotai, says there are a few things we need to support RSC serialization:

I've just published jotai-wrapper, a super tiny and simple utility library that makes using jotai even simpler. It comes from the necessity to migrate a project with react-context-slices to jotai. Both libraries share a similar API. While in react-context-slices you have the useSlice hook, in jotai you have the useAtom, useSetAtom, and useAtomValue hooks. In react-context-slices you define either React Context or Redux slices, while in jotai you define atoms. The need for the migration from the first to the second was a high memory usage by react-context-slices when using React Context slices.

Atom-based: splits states into tiny pieces of data called atoms, which can be written to and read from using React hooks. In this group, we have Recoil and Jotai.

jotai Is the signal based state manager I recommended, offering the best developer experience (in my opinion) as it eliminates the necessity to define and update a global store

Jotai 🧙‍♂️

Atomic libs include Recoil, Jotai, and the one I maintain: Zedux. Zedux especially was designed to work well with sockets and RxJS observables and has been getting some traction recently, so of course I recommend checking it out. Feel free to hmu with any questions.

Global State Machine: Jotai (great for any state that needs to be stored globally for your application)

This new tool started driving our production apps in early 2021 and has been a lifesaver in the extremes of complexity. 2 years later, we have finally open-sourced this tool as "Zedux".

Zedux is a hybrid tool similar to RTK + RTKQ but with first-class DI support.

For atoms, Jotai or Zedux

Atomic libraries like Recoil, Jotai, and Zedux specialize in expressing these dependencies clearly, giving you insight into your dependency graph and offering tools like evaluation tracing, time travel, and DI overrides to improve testability and discoverability of your code.

I'd recommend a powerful state management library for something like this, especially one that gives you full control over async flow outside React. Here's a codesandbox using Zedux to demonstrate sending 4 buffered requests per minute.

After Zustand, if you need anything more, I'd either go back to Redux or learn Jotai, an atomic library that's a little more powerful than Zustand. Atoms are a little more advanced, so I wouldn't start there. Though (full disclosure) I am the author of another atomic library that is aiming to make atoms simpler to learn and use. Someday we'll get there, but for now I'd say Zustand is the best place to start.

Source: I'm the creator of Zedux, a lib that we just publicly released a few days ago and drives lots of highly-volatile state like this in our apps. If you need a powerful state manager designed to work at scale with fast-moving state streamed over websockets (SSEs work too), it might be worth looking into. Cheers!
