We chose React for our website's frontend as React is the most prominent Javascript framework and our dev team has extensive experience with it. The AWS SDK integrates flawlessly with React and a member of our dev team has used the AWS SDK with React many times before, contributing further for our choice of using React over another Javascript framework, like Angular. A member of our dev team has also done state management with MobX in React before, giving us another reason to choose React as we expect we will need to keep track of some sort of global state within the React website.
