Atomic state has enabled us to build complex, deeply nested React component trees in our clinical trial data capture application without trading off render performance or developer ergonomics. Here's a very brief overview of the difference between vanilla React Context-based state management and atomic state management, with an interactive demo based on real-world clinical trial data showing how we use atomic state to keep Harbor's EDC UI responsive and performant.

At Harbor, we use a combination of old and new technologies to reduce clinical trial data entry burden by 90%. Most importantly, we do this without changing workflows or sacrificing compliance. The result is faster, more accurate data entry, reduced monitoring costs, and more time for sites to focus on taking care of their subjects.

Terraform allows us to quickly spin up high-fidelity local development environments that share the same infrastructure-as-code configuration that we deploy to production. Here's exactly how we use Terraform to configure Docker, Postgres, S3-compatible storage and other required services on developer machines so our local dev environment starts with one command, shares the same IaC, and feels like prod, without the mess of ad-hoc Bash orchestration or the heft of local Kubernetes.

With traditional electronic data capture (EDC) vendors, a validation cycle means waiting months for new features, and hoping nothing slipped through the cracks. With Harbor, every release is validated to meet regulatory standards automatically. That means you get faster product improvements, and when auditors show up, you already have a full validation package ready to go.
