🎙️ Episode: Minko Gechev on Angular 21 +

In this episode of the Angular Master Podcast, Dariusz Kalbarczyk — co-founder of NG Poland, JS Poland, AI Poland, and AngularMaster.dev — talks with Minko Gechev, AI Developer Productivity Lead at Google, speaker, author, blogger, and podcaster based in San Francisco, USA.

Together, they explore the evolution of Angular — from version 20 to the upcoming Angular 21 — uncovering what’s new, what’s improved, and what’s next for developers.

Minko shares behind-the-scenes insights about the challenges the team faced when building Angular v20, the community’s response to the new control flow with @for and @if, and how SignalStore is reshaping state management in real projects.

The discussion dives into whether signals have become the default approach to building Angular apps, how performance and bundle size have improved, and what lessons from v20 are helping shape v21.

You’ll also hear Minko’s thoughts on the future of reactivity in Angular, upcoming innovations in v21, and whether now is the right moment to upgrade legacy projects or even start writing a new Angular book.

Angular 20 is a major milestone that redefines how we think about building modern web applications. In this episode of the Angular Master Podcast, I invited three outstanding experts: Manfred Steyer, Michael Egger-Zikes, and Rainer Hahnekamp.

Together, we dive deep into:

• Signals – stabilization of APIs and the future of NgRx Signal Store

• Resource API – why it matters and what has changed

• Zone-less – is it time to go without Zone.js?

• Incremental Hydration – how it works and whether SSR should always be used

• Dynamic Components – new possibilities in Angular 20

• Deprecations – *ngIf, *ngFor, *ngSwitch and Style Guide updates

• Testing – is Vitest the new standard?

And we look ahead: Signal Forms API, Selectorless Components, new authoring formats, and what to expect in Angular 21.

This is a knowledge-packed conversation full of practice, insights, and forward-looking ideas — a must-listen for anyone who wants to understand where Angular is heading.
