Hello and welcome to today's letter, October 11
I was wondering what to write for today, and suddenly I got this. Why not what's trending to be the next topic?
A couple of products I was seeing around a lot, listening about them in the community, are worthy enough to share among you all.
This will again be the short story
First and foremost is the database Planetscale, as PostgreSQL is quite trending for developers who love SQL, but nothing for developers like me who love to work around Firebase or MongoDB. I really don't know what happened to developers across the globe who all became obsessed with performance, and SQL is preferred over NoSQL.
One more thing, I am not getting time but soon I'll add these important databases in the roadmap templates.
If you are working with AI applications or vector databases for machine learning or AI, consider Supabase as well, as it provides vector databases using a plugin pgvector
Let's move to Frontend, Astro always comes to my mind if I've to go with a static website and move off from Nextjs because I want to get rid of server-side generation and somehow bring a more robust framework for a static content site generator.
For a static site generator, one idea I've is regarding Hono as a backend framework, SQL as a database choice, along with Vite with React as a frontend stack. Hono will take care of server-side API or Astro actions along with heavy backend work or computing work, and Vite with React takes care of the frontend along with Tailwind and tanstack.
Recently, tanstack released a new full-stack framework, and the team behind it is basically using Vite, so do check out some tanstack and react-query is a must to handle caching and API calls optimisation in frontend React applications.
So one thing is quite clear, people are looking for Nextjs alternative and mainly a full-stack new framework that helps to build quickly and payment options along with databases integration with BetterAuth is quite common and don't forget shadcn. In addition, I would prefer to have a framework that brings payment options and an admin dashboard to manage the entire application. The dashboard should automatically integrate all backend APIs. In this way, one can run an entire full-stack product using a single repository, which is a very good framework for solo developers since they are becoming the next one-man billion-dollar company.
Also, since Vite is gaining popularity, do watch the new Vite YouTube video documentary. I've ended up watching all the documentaries for React, React Native, Apache and JavaScript and bla bla.
That would be enough for today
My blogs are becoming more like small newsletters 😁 I'll try to bring long and detailed content till the time have a good day, people
