RedwoodSDK: Full Stack React, Built on Web Standards

on YouTube ↗38m

" summary

Redwood SDK packages Vite + TypeScript + React around web standards and Cloudflare workers so every route is literally a function taking a Request and returning a Response; Server Components run server‑first, data comes from D1/Prisma, and server functions plus form actions provide RPC-style mutations and optimistic updates. Demo builds a to‑do app with Suspense, view transitions and client navigation, and a Durables/WS emoji real‑time demo that mostly works; deployment is a one‑command pmpm release to Cloudflare.
