Redux vs Zustand vs Jotai: Choosing a React State Library

When should I use Redux over Zustand or Jotai?

The answer

For large apps with complex shared state, lots of async logic, and a need for powerful DevTools and time-travel debugging. Redux's structure and tooling pay off at scale where simpler libraries become unmanageable.

Match the library to your app's complexity. Redux for large, complex apps with async and DevTools needs. Zustand for simple, minimal global stores. Jotai for fine-grained, derived, atomic state.

Redux is a full library with a single store, actions, and reducers, great for large apps but with a learning curve. Zustand is a minimal, hook-based store with no boilerplate, ideal for small to medium apps where you want simplicity.

An atomic model where state is broken into small atoms that compose. This gives fine-grained re-renders, only components using a changed atom re-render, and makes derived state easy. The mental model is different from a centralized store.
