Building an Enterprise Dashboard : 3 Architecture Lessons That Clicked

Short summary

Enterprise dashboards require different architectural patterns than simple web pages. Key lessons: use RTK Query to centralize data fetching and avoid repeated useEffect logic; separate layout styling from component styling for proper scroll regions; implement role-based access control centrally rather than scattered throughout components. Building dashboards teaches real-world React skills naturally.

• •RTK Query centralizes data fetching and caching, eliminating repeated useEffect patterns and state logic
• •Separate layout CSS (flex, 100vh, overflow: hidden) from component styling to enable proper scrolling regions
• •Role-based access control belongs in one config/wrapper component, not scattered throughout the app
