🎉 @margelo_com Joins Callstack to Advance High-Performance React Native Engineering Vienna, Austria. 1 September 2026. Callstack, a leader in React Native and cross-platform development, today announced that Margelo, the Vienna-based high-end engineering company behind Nitro Modules, VisionCamera and react-native-mmkv, is joining Callstack in a transaction valuing Margelo at more than EUR 20 million. Margelo builds high-performance technology for React Native. Nitro Modules (34M downloads) lets developers write fast, type-safe native modules in C++, Swift or Kotlin, and quickly gained widespread traction across the ecosystem. VisionCamera (40M downloads), Margelo's enterprise-grade open-source Camera framework and react-native-mmkv (67M downloads), a key-value storage library, power countless React Native apps today. Callstack has spent a decade helping large organizations adopt, scale and operate React Native, contributing to the framework and its open-source ecosystem along the way. Together, the two teams give clients the strongest React Native performance expertise in the market, backed by delivery proven in complex enterprise environments. Margelo's technology and Callstack's delivery experience will now be available to the same clients. The timing reflects a fundamental change in how software is built. AI is making implementation faster and cheaper, but architecture, performance, native integration, validation and release safety are becoming more important, not less. These are the fundamentals on which both companies have built their reputations and on which they will continue to build together. "Margelo has built some of the strongest performance technology in React Native. Callstack has spent a decade helping large organizations adopt and scale the framework. Bringing those strengths together gives us the team and reach to solve more of the hard problems that determine whether software succeeds in production," said Mike Grabowski, CEO and Founder of Callstack. "At Margelo, we’ve built high-performance technology that developers already rely on. We’re excited to partner with Callstack to bring it to more clients and scale its impact. As software development becomes increasingly agentic, we want that technology to provide the foundation teams need to build reliable software with agents," said Marc Rousavy, CEO and Founder of Margelo. Margelo's existing open-source libraries will remain open source. Marc will continue to lead their development and help shape the combined company's offering. The transaction follows Callstack's 2025 growth investment and supports its strategy to expand technology and open-source capabilities while growing internationally.

When the way software is built changes, we help companies adopt it. For over a decade, that meant bringing React Native to production across mobile, web, desktop, and TV. Now we are expanding that same mission to AI-native engineering: helping teams ship software with agents, safely and at scale. This is our new manifesto.

Step-by-step, code-first, and written by the devs who built the tooling. Our new ebook is your guide to integrating React Native into native apps in a modular, gradual, and production-ready way Includes: ✅ Packaging configs ✅ XCFrameworks & AARs ✅ Brownfield best practices

Brownfield development allows teams to adopt React Native gradually, embedding it into production apps one screen at a time. In this walkthrough, @_atlj shows how to: • Spin up a @rockjs_dev (formerly known as React Native • Enterprise Framework, or shortly RNEF) project configured for iOS • Export React Native modules as XCFrameworks • Import and initialize React Native in a SwiftUI app • Replace a native view with a React Native screen By the end, you’ll understand how to extend an existing iOS app with React Native in a controlled, incremental way.
