Enterprise-Scale State Management for Real-World Applications
While Zustand is great for lightweight global state,
Redux Toolkit shines in
enterprise applications where:
- You have deeply nested or shared state
- You want middleware (e.g. logging, async thunks)
- You need central debugging with Redux DevTools
- Your app structure is growing across teams/modules
In this guide, you’ll learn how to fully integrate
Redux Toolkit in a
Next.js 14 App Router + TypeScript project — step-by-step.
✅ When to Use Redux Toolkit (RTK)
| Use Case | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Small state (theme, cart) | Zustand |
| Global complex shared state | Redux Toolkit |
| Async data fetching + caching | Redux Toolkit Query |
| Modular, scalable architecture | Redux Toolkit |
✅ Folder Structure for Redux
🧪 Step 1: Install Redux Toolkit
🔹 store.ts (Configure Redux Store)
🔹 counterSlice.ts (Create Feature Slice)
🔹 Provide Store in Layout
🧪 Redux Usage Example
🧠 Bonus: Async Logic with createAsyncThunk
🔹 productSlice.ts Example
✅ Summary
| Task | Implementation |
|---|---|
| Setup Redux store | configureStore() |
| Create global feature slice | createSlice() |
| Dispatch actions in UI | useDispatch(), useSelector() |
| Async calls (optional) | createAsyncThunk() |
| App-wide state management | Ideal for large apps or teams |
