At Callstack, we love discussing all things performance, and we know you enjoy hearing about them. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that we’re covering another performance-related topic in this Coffee Talk. Fasten your seatbelts, and get ready to learn about Nitro Modules straight from the framework's creator, Marc Rousavy! ## Nitro Modules: Build superfast native modules On September 13, Marc Rousavy released Nitro Modules to the public. If you haven’t heard the news yet, it’s high time caught up, because it’s a framework for creating fast native modules that significantly outperform Turbo and Expo Modules, making your React Native app even faster! Tune in to the episode to learn about: - what led to the creation of Nitro Modules - technical details and benefits of Nitro Modules - three key concepts: nitro module, hybrid object, nitrogen - performance comparison with Turbo Modules and Expo Modules - behind the scened of Nitro Modules development - starting a new project and migrating an old one to Nitro Modules - developer experience and plans for the future ## Learn more about Nitro Modules - [Marc Rousavy on X](https://x.com/mrousavy) - [Nitro Modules Docs](https://nitro.margelo.com/docs/what-is-nitro) - [Nitro Modules on GitHub](https://github.com/mrousavy/nitro) - [Marc’s talk from React Universe Conf 2024](https://youtu.be/BqKEyKleyIA) Insights ## Learn more about Performance Here's everything we published recently on this topic.
