Summary

The RedwoodJS framework is a full-stack JAMstack framework that extends beyond static site generators, offering a stronger opinion on technologies used from frontend-to-backend. It builds upon open source technologies that have independently proven themselves as standalone tools, such as GraphQL, Babel/webpack, Lambda functions, and Prisma. With its convention over configuration approach and Rails-like scaffolding, RedwoodJS aims to provide a unified developer experience for dynamic apps, separating concerns between frontend and backend while maintaining a strong separation of concerns. This allows developers to take advantage of the speed of JAMstack while still having access to the features they need for their applications.
