# C++ Development

Design and build C++ for graphics, media, and real-time processing that powers demanding apps across iOS, Android, and beyond.

_[Expert Engineering](/ai-native-engineering) › [Feature Development](/capabilities/feature-development)_

**C++ where performance is non-negotiable**

Some work cannot ship in JavaScript. We design and build the C++ under demanding apps - graphics, media, real-time processing - integrated cleanly with React Native through JSI.

## Feature Development

- React Foundation Founding Member · 300+ commits to React Native · Contributing since 2016
- 100+ Enterprise projects delivered
- Industry runs on our tooling · 50M+ OSS downloads / month
- 3.7× Lower task cost vs Opus 5.5
- “With the release of Re.Pack 5 we now have an easy way to create the MiniApps and federated mobile apps that our users have been asking for.” — Zackary Chapple, CEO / Zephyr Cloud
- ~6x Faster prototyping · 60+ Components mapped with full coverage · Figma · Claude · Server · Tailwind · Tokens · React · Cursor · ESLint
- React Native Paper · A component library in our open-source toolkit for building React Native interfaces.

## What you get: Native performance, engineered deliberately.

- **Performance-critical modules** Audio, video, image processing, and heavy compute in modern C++, profiled on real devices.
- **One core, every platform** Shared C++ logic compiled for iOS, Android, desktop, and embedded, so behavior stays identical.
- **Clean JSI integration** Type-safe bindings that expose native capability to React Native without bridge overhead.
- **Memory and thread safety** Sanitizers, static analysis, and disciplined ownership models applied throughout.
- **Benchmarks, not guesses** Latency, memory, and battery measured per device tier, before and after optimization.
- **Maintainable handover** Documented architecture and build tooling, so the core never becomes a black box.

## How we work together: Turn roadmap scope into shipped features.

### Extend your team (1 week)
Our senior engineers join your team to ship features, guide technical decisions, and strengthen delivery.
- Your roadmap and workflow
- Expertise shared as we work
- Flexible timezone coverage
### Deliver a project (1-12 months)
We take agreed work from technical planning to release, with clear responsibilities and progress you can see.
- 3 Callstack engineers ship like 6
- Impact visible before sprint two
- End-to-end delivery
### Solve specific challenge (as needed)
We address a performance, migration, or infrastructure challenge, or run training around your team’s needs.
- Focused reviews or implementation
- Knowledge your team keeps
- Outcomes guaranteed with contract

## What shipping at AI speed looks like.

- [React Universe App: Networking Evolved With Liquid Glass](/case-studies/react-universe-app-networking-evolved-with-liquid-glass): 63% adoption rate; majority of attendees registered in the app
- [Building a browser-based React Native playground for Expo](/case-studies/building-a-browser-based-react-native-playground-for-expo)
- [Migrating AutoZone’s Storefront to Next.js for Better Performance and SEO](/case-studies/migration-to-nextjs-for-autozone): #1 SEO rank, recovering from 3-9
- [Creating React Native SDK Wrapper for Rive](/case-studies/creating-react-native-sdk-wrapper-for-rive): 100k weekly downloads on npm

**Native speed, one codebase.** A C++ core under your cross-platform app: faster, smaller, identical everywhere. [Book a call](/contact)

## Let’s find the right path for your product.

**When does C++ beat Swift or Kotlin modules?**

When the same logic must run on multiple platforms, or when you need SIMD, custom allocation, or tight loops. For single-platform API access, a Swift or Kotlin module is usually the simpler answer.
**Can you integrate a C++ library we already have?**

Yes. That is a dedicated offering - C++ Library Integration for React Native - and we scope the work accordingly.
**How do you manage build complexity?**

We own the CMake setup, toolchains, and CI integration, and keep native builds cached so iteration stays fast.
**Does this work with the New Architecture?**

Yes. JSI is the foundation of the New Architecture, and we build against it directly.
**How do you keep C++ debuggable for a JavaScript team?**

Clear module boundaries, structured logging across the JSI boundary, and crash reporting with symbolication set up from the start.
**Who maintains the core afterwards?**

Your team, with our documentation and optional support. We hand over architecture docs, tests, and build runbooks as part of delivery.
