How does React avoid memory explosion when many suspended components are waiting for promises?

Expert React
Quick Answer React deduplicates suspended Promises รขโ‚ฌโ€ if multiple components suspend on the same Promise, React only resolves it once. Resolved Promise results are cached in the fiber tree during the current render, then discarded when the render commits. React doesn't hold large Promise result buffers รขโ‚ฌโ€ it resolves, commits, and moves on.

Answer

React uses ref-counted wakeable objects and deduplicates promise listeners to prevent memory overhead.
