Redux is a predictable state container for JavaScript apps, primarily used with React. It helps you write applications that behave consistently, run in different environments (client, server, and native), and are easy to test. By centralizing your application's state and enforcing unidirectional data flow, Redux simplifies debugging and allows for features like time-travel debugging. Its core principles promote maintainability and scalability in complex applications through immutability and pure functions.
Redux initially saw frequent releases, especially in 2015 and 2016. Release frequency then significantly decreased. There were periods of inactivity followed by single or a few releases in some months. The latest releases were in December 2023, with versions 5.0.0 and 5.0.1. There have been no releases in 2024 or until now in September 2025.
Redux downloads surged from March 2024 (32.4M) to July 2025 (64.7M), peaking in June and July 2025. There was a slight decrease in August 2025 (62.1M). September began with downloads at 13.4M, showing incomplete data, as today is September 7th.
