Vanilla With Candy Sprinkles

The blog post explores the multitude of JavaScript frameworks available for deployment on fly.io and provides a guide for creating a simple, customizable web application using a "vanilla" approach. It begins with a basic stateful web server that tracks page visits, initially implemented without dependencies. The post then demonstrates how to enhance this application by introducing various tools and libraries, such as Express for server management, templating engines like EJS and Mustache, and databases like SQLite3 and PostgreSQL. It also covers the integration of real-time updates through WebSockets, managed using Redis for global deployment, and explores packaging alternatives such as Yarn and PNPM. The post concludes by encouraging exploration of other frameworks and tools, noting the potential for global distribution and real-time capabilities, and invites contributions to the open-source node-demo project that facilitates these developments.
