Join us for the React Universe Meetup at Ryt Bank in Kuala Lumpur, an in-person, developer-first event hosted by Callstack and Ryt Bank, Dev Malaysia and Kuala Lumpur JS.

This meetup is built for engineers who care about how things actually behave in production. We’ll focus on real-world decisions, tradeoffs, and the patterns teams use when scaling React Native beyond prototypes.

You’ll hear from practitioners working on live systems: from running a digital bank on React Native to migrating existing native apps with AI-assisted workflows.

Whether you’re a senior engineer, tech lead, or architect working across mobile and web, you’ll leave with a clearer view of what works today, and what to watch out for.

It’s also a chance to meet engineers doing similar work. We keep space for both the talks and conversations after. Food is provided, and RSVP is required.

About React Universe Meetups

React Universe Meetups are a series of in-person events focused on engaging with the community and connecting senior engineers, tech leaders, and decision-makers around the future of the React and React Native ecosystem.

Brought to you by Callstack, these meetups create space for practical, experience-driven conversations at the intersection of technology and business. The goal is simple: bring together people building and scaling real products, share what’s working (and what isn’t), and learn from peers who are deep in the work.

Talks are led by practitioners with hands-on experience in React, React Native, and related technologies, covering real challenges, tradeoffs, and lessons learned.
