Years from now, we’ll look back on this week as the start of the decline of AWS/GCP/Azure being used directly by product companies. @Cloudflare going full-stack and @planetscaledata going GA are the inflection points.
We want to be transparent about where we're headed:
1.0 Beta → Foundational Stability & Breaking Changes
Fixing show-stoppers and executing necessary breaking changes to make the dev loop reliable.
1.0 → Public Surface Stability
Documentation improvements, clearer error messages, and solidifying which features are stable vs. preview.
1.x → Growth & Hardening
Backwards-compatible features and continued polish on experimental areas.
Future → Big Ideas
Larger quality-of-life improvements and architectural explorations.
<Activity> - The most exciting React feature just came out!
Hide a React subtree and unmount its Effects while preserving its state, and keep rendering it with lower priority.
Unlocks very exciting pre-rendering patterns along the way!
More Activity modes are coming
If I were to start a new app today, rwsdk would be my first pick. I love how well thought and powerful it is, yet with a very simple API. No magic, no implicit caching, proper middleware support, rsc and built on top of vite. Plus the team behind it are super talented.
For existing users on a 0.x version, we've prepared a migration guide to walk you through the upgrade process: docs.rwsdk.com/migrating
Please note that with this beta release, the 0.3.x channel will no longer receive active maintenance. Here are a few of the notable changes:
Simpler Project Scaffolding: We've replaced the standard and minimal templates with a single, unified starter. This provides a clean foundation for all projects, with authentication now available as an optional, version-locked Passkey addon.
Improved Hydration and Streaming: We've re-architected our server-side rendering to fix useId hydration mismatches
UI Library Examples: We've added a playground with end-to-end tested examples, includes ones for key features and popular libraries, showcasing our support for shadcn/ui (Radix), Base UI, and Chakra UI.
Consistent Middleware: RSC Actions now run through the same global middleware pipeline as page requests, allowing for consistent authentication and session logic.
We look forward to your feedback as we move towards the full 1.0 release.

This is why Workers pricing is so low that people make up conspiracy theories about some sort of rug-pull. We just built a better architecture, and we still have low-hanging fruit like this to make it even more efficient.
We reduced Cloudflare Workers cold starts by 10x by optimistically routing to servers with already-loaded Workers. Learn how we did it here. cfl.re/42MKeyH#BirthdayWeek
Workers Builds are now...
...faster than Github Actions standard runners
...faster than Cloudflare Pages builds
...even faster on the $5/mo Workers Paid plan
RedwoodSDK up and to the right! If you like @Cloudflare and you like @reactjs, but especially if you like to SHIP PRODUCT, you should put your 👀 on this.
