React Native + Hono, a fast mobile stack
Combine native‑feeling mobile UI with a lightweight, edge‑ready Hono backend. Deliver low‑latency experiences with consistent types from client to API.
Highlights
- Type‑safe shared models across app and API
- Edge endpoints for global read performance
- Auth flows optimized for mobile sessions and biometrics
- Monorepo structure for shared utilities
Start in minutes
Bootstrap the app, configure iOS/Android, and link native dependencies.
Point to the Hono base URL; add typed client helpers for endpoints.
Build screens, call APIs, and deploy the backend to an edge platform.
Use cases
- Real‑time dashboards and notifications
- AI‑assisted workflows with server‑side orchestration
- Offline‑first apps with background sync
Best practices
- Keep requests small and cacheable; paginate and compress responses.
- Use secure storage for tokens; rotate regularly.
- Log request IDs end‑to‑end for reliable tracing.
Co‑locate the API near your users. Even small latency savings improve perceived performance on mobile networks.
Architecture
- Mobile UI → typed API client → Hono routes at edge/serverless
- Shared types for requests/responses to avoid drift
- Feature flags control gradual backend rollouts
Security
- Store tokens in secure storage; use short‑lived access with refresh.
- Validate inputs with schemas; rate‑limit per device/user.
- Enforce CORS and content security on the API where applicable.
Observability
- Include request IDs and device metadata in logs (redact PII).
- Monitor p95 latency per region and endpoint.
- Trace errors across client and server with the same correlation ID.
Performance
- Use HTTP/2 keep‑alive and compress JSON responses.
- Batch small reads; debounce chatty interactions.
- Cache public data at the edge with short TTLs.
Offline & sync
- Queue writes while offline and synchronize with conflict resolution.
- Mark stale data and refresh on app focus.
- Provide optimistic UI for smooth interactions.
