Today's Talk focused on the future of full-stack web development with Blitz.js. Blitz is a React framework built on top of Next.js, offering direct database access and authentication with authorization. The core features of Blitz include the zero-API layer and the ability to run server code directly from the frontend. The future of Blitz includes expanding to other frameworks and runtime environments. The new Blitz toolkit will be decoupled from any specific framework, allowing developers to choose their preferred foundation. It will retain the core value of Blitz while adding additional features like JWT authentication and advanced data-aware authorization. The migration to the new toolkit will be seamless for existing Blitz projects. The Blitz toolkit will have a plugin system for customization and support multiple resolvers. The Blitz project is currently going through a pivot and will focus on the Blitz toolkit. The goal is to release the toolkit by the end of March. The most exciting part of the toolkit is the plugin system design that allows users to customize their experience.

Blitz is a framework for building full stack React apps with a monolithic architecture and no API layer. It uses Next.js and Prisma 2 and follows convention over configuration. Authentication and authorization are set up by default, and adding social login is easy. The Blitz community emphasizes inclusivity and welcomes contributions. The future of Blitz includes a stable release cycle and the vision of bringing the Zero API experience to mobile.

React has evolved over the years, introducing breakthroughs like the declarative component model and React hooks. Create React App and Next.js abstracted away webpack config and routing, improving developer productivity. GraphQL backend as a service platforms made it easy to set up a backend without extensive knowledge. Blitz.js and Redwood.js are game-changing batteries included frameworks for full stack React development. They aim to make backend development easier for front end developers and optimize full stack productivity.
