For complex observability applications, URL share-ability is a critical necessity. It gives teams confidence that everyone viewing a shared link is seeing the exact same data, filters, and context.

This talk focusses on the techniques and the practices we employed in implementing a robust URL-based state management for Parca, an open-source continuous profiling platform. We’ll explore how what began as a simple useURLState hook evolved into a robust state management system, and share the lessons we learned from the pitfalls we hit along the way.

• How to get started with the open-sourced component for your URL State needs

• Hands-on code examples demonstrating various usage patterns

• When to (and when not to) use URL State management

• Practical Browser nuances to watch out for with URL State
