Hermes is a JavaScript engine optimized for fast start-up of React Native applications on Android. JavaScript engines such as V8 have just-in-time (JIT) compilers that profile the code at run time to produce optimized instructions.

As a result you get a smaller APK image size, lean memory consumption and faster startup time. We're carefully assessing Hermes in a few React Native apps and recommend you do the same.

Thoughtworks acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land where we work and live, and their continued connection to Country. We pay our respects to Elders past and present. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples were the world's first scientists, technologists, engineers and mathematicians. We celebrate the stories, culture and traditions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders of all communities who also work and live on this land. 

 

As a company, we invite Thoughtworkers to be actively engaged in advancing reconciliation and strengthen their solidarity with the First Peoples of Australia. Since 2019, we have been working with Reconciliation Australia to formalize our commitment and take meaningful action to advance reconciliation. We invite you to review our Reconciliation Action Plan.
