Redis pub / sub has worked fantastically for me - reached 100k+ concurrent users with ~80 msg / sec, but benchmarked much higher. It was the easiest, fastest, and most reliable solution I found (about ~4 years ago)

It's a voronoi + boids visualization that flocks around the mouse (and each other).
In honesty though, it's literally eye cancer ;P

In this app I did not have to worry about that, but I can recommend https://github.com/sunnylqm/react-native-storage for dealing with storing on the device if you want to manually do things. I haven't built an app with React Native yet that does rely on local storage; however, with Redux and the redux-storage library it should be no problem
I do very much like Redux, but definitely that whole data flow layer can be intimidating. Wes Bos has a great free course on react / redux ( https://learnredux.com/ ) that can help that learning process, and there is the excellent courses on https://reacttraining.com/ if you are willing to invest a little bit of money on learning.
With all that said, you don't _need_ to use Redux or anything else to work with storing data. It might be a good idea to try manually storing with the aforementioned storage library just so you can get something working and feel like you're making progress; and then spending some time with Redux and (https://github.com/michaelcontento/redux-storage provides support for storing data with react native). Good luck!

Yes, quite easy! I have very little android dev experience. Android integration was excellent, I had zero issues. It was easy to ship to the play store (faster and less painful than iOS. And if you need to modify something, you don't need to wait days to get it re-approved).
If you're playing "within the bounds" of what React Native provides, it's wonderful. If you're doing some fairly custom things you may need to drop down and write Native Modules ( https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/native-modules-... ), but the ecosystem is growing so fast that there are so many third party libraries that cover many of the custom things you'd want to do ( https://github.com/jondot/awesome-react-native )
