+
+State Management is a design pattern with the goal of properly sharing state data across components and separating domain representation from state management.
+This pattern is applied by many popular web frameworks such as [Vuex](/languages-and-frameworks/vuex.html), [Redux](/languages-and-frameworks/redux.html) or [Flux](/methods-and-patterns/flux.html).
+
+Especially in [reactive](/methods-and-patterns/reactive-programming.html) systems, this pattern helps to solve the task of maintaining decoupled, stateless components with immutable data. The ways of implementing state management differs and depends on the specific requirements of the application at hand.
+
+For distributed backend systems one might want to utilize [Akka's](/languages-and-frameworks/akka.html) cluster sharding module to elastically manage domain object states.
+
+We use the various state management patterns across most [Vue](/languages-and-frameworks/vue.html) and [React](/languages-and-frameworks/react.html) projects that warrant them.
