Remix gives developers the power to write their frontend and backend code in one unified location and language, which drops the fullstack barrier significantly for frontend devs and newer developers. The remaining piece, however, is the database. Throw Prisma into the mix and you've got a powerful fullstack experience with a very low learning curve. In this talk, we'll take a look at the amazing developer experience you get when you combine the two.

This talk has been presented at Remix Conf Europe 2022, check out the latest edition of this React Conference.

FAQ

The main topic of the talk at RemixConf is how Remix and Prisma enable front-end developers to become full-stack developers by allowing them to work across different parts of the stack without needing to learn the intricate details of the database or API layers.

Remix and Prisma aim to provide a good developer experience by allowing developers to quickly start building their products without worrying about initial setup and configuration. They make it easy to work across the full stack.

Front-end developers focus on user interactions, visuals of the website, user experience, and interacting with APIs to display data on the UI.

Back-end developers focus on building business logic, persisting data into the database, ensuring application security, and exposing data through APIs and endpoints.

Database developers focus on data modeling, schema migrations, and optimizing performance through indexing and efficient query writing.

Remix provides a framework that blurs the lines between front-end and back-end development, while Prisma offers tools for easy database interaction and management. Together, they allow developers to work across the full stack using one language and organization pattern.

You can build full-stack applications that are type-safe and easy to set up, allowing for quick development of functional applications with integrated front-end and back-end code.

Prisma offers type-safe database interactions, schema migrations, and a modeling language that makes data modeling easier. It allows developers to interact with the database using JavaScript, reducing the need for specialized database knowledge.

Video Summary and Transcription

Remix and Prisma enable front-end developers to become full-stack developers by working across different parts of the stack without diving into complexities. They provide a great framework for writing code and interacting with databases, making it easier to be a full-stack developer. Prisma's ORM allows mapping database models to JavaScript or JSON models. Developing a full stack app with Remix requires structuring components and loaders differently, but simplifies development by focusing on one place.

Adrien Baron

Creator of Tiny Frontend

This talk discusses the usage of Microfrontends in Remix and introduces the Tiny Frontend library. Kazoo, a used car buying platform, follows a domain-driven design approach and encountered issues with granular slicing. Tiny Frontend aims to solve the slicing problem and promotes type safety and compatibility of shared dependencies. The speaker demonstrates how Tiny Frontend works with server-side rendering and how Remix can consume and update components without redeploying the app. The talk also explores the usage of micro frontends and the future support for Webpack Module Federation in Remix.

Kent C. Dodds discusses the concept of problem elimination rather than just problem-solving. He introduces the idea of a problem tree and the importance of avoiding creating solutions prematurely. Kent uses examples like Tesla's electric engine and Remix framework to illustrate the benefits of problem elimination. He emphasizes the value of trade-offs and taking the easier path, as well as the need to constantly re-evaluate and change approaches to eliminate problems.

Debugging JavaScript is a crucial skill that is often overlooked in the industry. It is important to understand the problem, reproduce the issue, and identify the root cause. Having a variety of debugging tools and techniques, such as console methods and graphical debuggers, is beneficial. Replay is a time-traveling debugger for JavaScript that allows users to record and inspect bugs. It works with Redux, plain React, and even minified code with the help of source maps.

Making JavaScript on WebAssembly Fast

Top Content

Lin Clark

Working on WebAssembly at Fastly. Code Cartoons Author.

WebAssembly enables optimizing JavaScript performance for different environments by deploying the JavaScript engine as a portable WebAssembly module. By making JavaScript on WebAssembly fast, instances can be created for each request, reducing latency and security risks. Initialization and runtime phases can be improved with tools like Wiser and snapshotting, resulting in faster startup times. Optimizing JavaScript performance in WebAssembly can be achieved through techniques like ahead-of-time compilation and inline caching. WebAssembly usage is growing outside the web, offering benefits like isolation and portability. Build sizes and snapshotting in WebAssembly depend on the application, and more information can be found on the Mozilla Hacks website and Bike Reliance site.

Building modern web applications is riddled with complexity And that's only if you bother to deal with the problems
Tired of wiring up onSubmit to backend APIs and making sure your client-side cache stays up-to-date? Wouldn't it be cool to be able to use the global nature of CSS to your benefit, rather than find tools or conventions to avoid or work around it? And how would you like nested layouts with intelligent and performance optimized data management that just works™?
Remix solves some of these problems, and completely eliminates the rest. You don't even have to think about server cache management or global CSS namespace clashes. It's not that Remix has APIs to avoid these problems, they simply don't exist when you're using Remix. Oh, and you don't need that huge complex graphql client when you're using Remix. They've got you covered. Ready to build faster apps faster?
At the end of this workshop, you'll know how to:- Create Remix Routes- Style Remix applications- Load data in Remix loaders- Mutate data with forms and actions
