Your Frontend’s Best Friend - How to Ship Fast in 2025

Iteration velocity is crucial because it allows you to ship more features and fix more bugs with the same resources, improving your chances of success. A faster iteration means a quicker feedback loop, which can significantly increase the chances of a project's success.

Full stack web frameworks like Next.js and Remix improve development by providing a closely integrated environment where tailored endpoints are created for specific routes, making code sharing easier and increasing development speed and efficiency.

The BFF pattern allows each frontend to have a dedicated backend that handles requests specifically for that frontend, simplifying interactions with multiple backends and improving performance and maintainability.

TurboStream allows Remix applications to serialize promises and other JavaScript primitives, enabling streaming HTTP and better handling of asynchronous data, which enhances the frontend's responsiveness and user experience.

Observability is crucial as it involves monitoring and gaining insights into how people use your product, providing traces and bug reports to quickly identify and resolve issues, thus improving the reliability and performance of software projects.

MCP, or Model Context Protocol, enables large language models (LLMs) to integrate with third-party services and tools, allowing chat interfaces to provide more powerful functionalities by connecting with various services.

Code sharing allows developers to reuse code across different parts of a project or between projects, reducing duplication of effort, speeding up development, and ensuring consistency across applications.

The MCP server adapter for Next.js applications allows developers to integrate MCP functionalities directly within their existing project architecture, facilitating the handling of requests for both traditional web frontends and MCP clients in a unified environment.

MCP servers face the challenge of being stateful and needing to support more complex workflows and higher-level concepts than traditional REST APIs, which require careful consideration of how tools and processes are exposed to LLMs.

Next.js and Remix applications can serve multiple front-ends by acting as backends tailored for specific front-end experiences, whether it's a React app or an MCP client, allowing them to handle different types of requests efficiently in a single deployment.
