What are the best practices for optimizing performance in React Native Apps?

Besides optimization, for performance in React Native applications, one needs to render as little as possible using React.memo and shouldComponentUpdate. Using FlatList for the rendering of big lists, not performing heavy computations on the main thread, will also improve the performance of an application. Other best practices involve leveraging Native Modules for performance-critical tasks and image loading optimization with libraries such as FastImage. Regular profiling, by means of tools like the React Native Performance Monitor, helps to identify and resolve performance bottlenecks.
