T3 App Router Edge
A simple example app which runs the excellent T3 Stack on the Edge runtime, with Next.js's beta App Router.
Overview
The transition from utilizing Prisma and Kysely to Drizzle ORM represents a significant stride forward in streamlining database management and querying processes. This shift aims to tackle the complexities that arise from using separate frameworks for schema management and data access. For users familiar with the traditional setup, the adoption of Drizzle brings about a more cohesive experience, particularly with time-sensitive data updates that can now be efficiently handled by the database.
In this experimental project implementing the T3 Stack on the Edge runtime with Next.js's beta App Router, developers are provided with a playground for innovation and collaboration. Although still in its infancy and not ready for production use, this repository serves as a valuable resource for those looking to explore new app structures and enhance their skillset in modern web development.

Data Fetching Flexibility: Choose from multiple data fetching strategies to optimize performance for your needs, either server-side or client-side, using Server Components and React Query capabilities.
This project encapsulates an innovative approach to web application development, merging various cutting-edge technologies into one cohesive platform for learning and experimentation.
- Next.js
Next.js is a React-based web framework that enables server-side rendering, static site generation, and other powerful features for building modern web applications.
- React
React is a widely used JavaScript library for building user interfaces and single-page applications. It follows a component-based architecture and uses a virtual DOM to efficiently update and render UI components
- TanStack
TanStack is a collection of high-quality, framework-agnostic libraries including TanStack Query for data fetching, TanStack Router for routing, TanStack Table for tables, and more. These tools provide powerful, type-safe solutions for common web development challenges.
- Tailwind
Tailwind CSS is a utility-first CSS framework that provides pre-defined classes for building responsive and customizable user interfaces.
- Shadcn UI
Beautifully designed components that you can copy and paste into your apps. Accessible. Customizable. Open Source.
- Prisma
Prisma is a server-side library that helps developers read and write data to the database in an intuitive, efficient and safe way.
- Fullstack
A fullstack boilerplate provides a starter application that includes both frontend and backend. It should include database, auth, payments, user roles and other backend services to build a fully featured saas or webapps.
- Eslint
ESLint is a linter for JavaScript that analyzes code to detect and report on potential problems and errors, as well as enforce consistent code style and best practices, helping developers to write cleaner, more maintainable code.
- Postcss
PostCSS is a popular open-source tool that enables web developers to transform CSS styles with JavaScript plugins. It allows for efficient processing of CSS styles, from applying vendor prefixes to improving browser compatibility, ultimately resulting in cleaner, faster, and more maintainable code.
- Typescript
TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, providing optional static typing, classes, interfaces, and other features that help developers write more maintainable and scalable code. TypeScript's static typing system can catch errors at compile-time, making it easier to build and maintain large applications.
- Zod
Zod is a TypeScript-first schema declaration and validation library. It allows you to define schemas that can validate data at runtime while providing excellent TypeScript inference, making it perfect for API validation, form validation, and type-safe data handling.
