Hey devs,
after taking a break to release my TanStack Start Course, the newsletter is now back on a regular basis!
The last few weeks have been full of long awaited feature releases... let's hop in!
TanStack Start officially added support for server components.
These come in handy, for example to render a portion of your app on the server.
Compared to other frameworks, the API is very transparent and lets you easily cache them however you want, no 'magic' happening here.
For even more flexibility, they also introduced Composite Components.
For code examples, check out the announcement blog here: https://tanstack.com/blog/react-server-components
Railway have migrated their entire production frontend from NextJS to TanStack Router.
The results are outstanding:
Building time went from 10 mins to 2 mins
Instant Hot Module Reload
And extremely fast dev server startup.
