Redwood is diving deep into React Server Components (RSC), aiming to enhance the efficiency and capabilities of web applications. The full-stack JavaScript framework integrates seamlessly with React, GraphQL, and Prisma. Redwood's unique Redwood cell simplifies data fetching and component state management in one place, making it ideal for startups. The Bighorn Epoch signifies a new phase focused on React, with features like server-side rendering (SSR) and React streaming. The transparent API allows fetching data from any source, not just GraphQL, offering flexibility for developers. Redwood is open-source and free, with a strong community supporting its growth. The best way to start is by following the Redwood tutorial and participating in community forums.

Tom Pressenwurter introduces Redwood.js, a full stack app framework for building GraphQL APIs easily and maintainably. He demonstrates a Redwood.js application with a React-based front end and a Node.js API. Redwood.js offers a simplified folder structure and schema for organizing the application. It provides easy data manipulation and CRUD operations through GraphQL functions. Redwood.js allows for easy implementation of new queries and directives, including authentication and limiting access to data. It is a stable and production-ready framework that integrates well with other front-end technologies.

Composition vs Configuration: How to Build Flexible, Resilient and Future-proof Components
Top Content
Today's Talk discusses building flexible, resilient, and future-proof React components using composition and configuration approaches. The composition approach allows for flexibility without excessive conditional logic by using multiple components and passing props. The context API can be used for variant styling, allowing for appropriate styling and class specification. Adding variants and icons is made easy by consuming the variant context. The composition and configuration approaches can be combined for the best of both worlds.

Find Out If Your Design System Is Better Than Nothing
Building a design system without adoption is a waste of time. Grafana UI's adoption is growing consistently over time. The factors affecting design system adoption include the source mix changing, displacement of Homebrew components by Grafana UI, and the limitations of Grafana UI's current state. Measuring adoption is important to determine the success of a design system. The analysis of code through static code analysis tools is valuable in detecting and tracking component usage.

In this workshop, I’ll first show you how to create a new project in a headless CMS, fill it with data, and use the content in your project. Then, we’ll spend the rest of time in code, we will:- Generate strongly typed models and structure for the fetched content.- Use the content in components- Resolve content from rich text fields into React components- Touch on deployment pipelines and possibilities for discovering content-related issues before hitting production
You will learn:- How to work with content from headless CMS- How content model can be leveraged to generate TS types and what benefits it brings to your project- How not to use string literals for content in code anymore- How to do rich text resolution into React components- How to minimize or avoid content-related issues before hitting production
