Performance is a crucial aspect of software development, especially how data is accessed. Lazy loading and eager loading are two techniques that can significantly impact this. Lazy loading loads resources only when needed, improving user experience and conserving bandwidth, while eager loading fetches all data upfront, simplifying code and ensuring data consistency. The post demonstrates both techniques using React components, illustrating how they can enhance the performance and responsiveness of single-page applications.
