Answer
Use Redux, Zustand, or Jotai when the app needs fine-grained re-render control, middleware, or cross-app communication. Context causes broad re-renders.
Quick Answer
Context is best for data that rarely changes (auth state, theme, locale). When many components need to react to frequent events (messages arriving, price changes), event-driven stores (Zustand, Redux, EventEmitter) are better — they let components subscribe to specific events and avoid re-rendering all Context consumers on every change.
