React using Remix (https://remix.run/)

I’ve used it for nearly 2 years in production

Highly recommend this video if want a good primer on the problem it solves: https://youtu.be/95B8mnhzoCM?si=EzKwMLbJW2602PJI

It’s built by the team that created the popular react router library, which has over a billion downloads since it was published;

It brought the joy of programming back for me, but more importantly it solves lots of typical headaches in react and helps me ship faster and with right amount of abstraction and levers to pull

If you’ve used react router, all that knowledge transfers over, if you have a react SPA with react router, very little to learn

Great for Frontend UI teams, but, it’s simple enough in my observation that several SRE & traditionally pure backend teams who’ve never built UIs at my company have adopted it for building their own internal tools & UIs

Deployable on all major platforms that I know, whether it’s serverless or not

I use the remix with expressjs template at work and for personal projects

I started using remix a while back and man, it feels really refreshing in the javascript ecosystem. It feels like they really have hit all the sweet spots that you are used to if you come from an older framework like rails/laravel/django.

Even frameworks like Nuxt or similar kinda solves the same issue but they always seem more front end focused and kinda leaves the database layer up to the developer. I love that Remix takes a stance here and helps you get going.

You have everything you need to get started quickly and the performance is great. It's also really easy to extend functionality with packages and seems like there is very few things that you'll miss.
