Exei is not just another web application – it is a scalable, multi-tenant, frontend-heavy platform built to handle real-world complexity. Exei’s frontend coordinates a large number of moving parts.
As the product evolved, one issue consistently surfaced: state management.
What began as a few useState hooks quickly turned into deep prop drilling, duplicated logic, and unpredictable UI behavior. Visually distant components became tightly coupled through state dependencies. A simple requirement like keeping the active project in sync across the navbar, dashboard, and editor became fragile and error-prone.
At that point, the question was no longer how to store state, but how to scale state safely.
That challenge led to Redux integration in Exei, using modern Redux with Redux Toolkit (RTK). This article explains why Redux was chosen, the process of integrating Redux with React and Next.js, and how it fundamentally improved Exei’s frontend architecture.
