Redwood is Evolving

Since the early days of RedwoodJS, our mission has been clear: to help developers build and deploy full-stack apps faster, smarter, and with confidence. That mission hasn't changed — but the platform has.

We are excited to share that our focus is evolving to a new direction: RedwoodSDK 🚀


Why RedwoodSDK?

RedwoodSDK is the natural evolution of everything we learned while building and supporting RedwoodJS:

  • 🌐 Full-stack, composable, React framework built for Cloudflare
  • 🛠️ **Easy to follow Request/Response cycle, no magic
  • Cloudflare-native deployments with edge-first performance
  • ☁️ Built in Cloudflare services including D1, Queues, KV, AI, and more (you choose)
  • 🧠 Built-in Realtime support

You can deploy in seconds using:

pnpm release            # for production
CLOUDFLARE_ENV=staging pnpm release  # for staging

Simple. Predictable. Powerful.

"From idea to live app, RedwoodSDK is the fastest path we've ever built."


RedwoodJS Isn't Going Anywhere

RedwoodJS will remain fully supported, with active maintenance and updates.

If you're building with RedwoodJS today:

  • You're still in good hands.
  • We'll continue to support you.
  • Your app isn't going anywhere.

But if you're starting something new — or want the latest in speed, developer experience, and edge-native architecture — you'll love RedwoodSDK.


Where to Start

Explore everything RedwoodSDK has to offer:


TL;DR

  • RedwoodJS is stable and supported ✅
  • RedwoodSDK is the future of our framework efforts 🚀
  • It's fast, composable, deploys in seconds, and feels amazing to use ✨

We're more excited than ever about what's next.

Let's build it together.

👉 Start building with RedwoodSDK

A simple framework for humans. Server-first React, running on the Cloudflare platform. Simple to build. Easy to maintain. RedwoodSDK begins as a Vite plugin that unlocks SSR, React Server Components, Server Functions, and realtime features. Its standards-based router, with support for middleware and interruptors, gives you fine-grained control over every request and response. With built-in access to Cloudflare Workers, D1 (Database), R2 (Storage), Queues, AI, and full local emulation via Miniflare, development feels just like production.
