Why Context API Fails in Real Projects

In React interviews, one question comes up again and again:

👉 “If React already has Context API, why do we need external state management libraries?”

Most candidates answer this wrong not because it’s hard,
but because they never understood the fundamental difference.

This video explains:

✅ The real problem with Context API
✅ Why Context causes unnecessary re-renders
✅ Why it doesn’t scale well for frequently changing global state
✅ How libraries solve performance optimization
✅ The role of middleware, devtools & async handling
✅ What interviewers actually expect you to say

💡 Interview Insight:
Context is great for static or rarely changing data.
State management libraries exist to solve performance, scalability, debugging, and side-effect complexity.

Perfect for:
React interview preparation
Large-scale React apps
Frontend architecture understanding
Performance-focused development
