T3 App Router Edge Drizzle
A simple example app which runs the excellent T3 Stack on the Edge runtime, with Next.js's beta App Router. Database queries with drizzle-orm.
Overview
The T3 App Router (Edge) is an innovative project that pushes the boundaries of web development by leveraging the T3 Stack on the Edge runtime. It's an experimental approach designed primarily for developers eager to learn and explore the capabilities of Next.js's beta App Router. Although still in its infancy and not intended for production use, it provides an exciting playground for those interested in modern app architecture.
This project stands out as a collective effort, showcasing the integration of various ideas and technologies. It's a birds-eye view of how to build applications with edge capabilities while utilizing state-of-the-art tools like drizzle-orm and Auth.js, making it a valuable resource for developers aiming to push the envelope in app development.

- 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.
- Drizzle ORM
Drizzle ORM is a TypeScript ORM for SQL databases designed with maximum type safety in mind. It comes with a drizzle-kit CLI companion for automatic SQL migrations generation. Drizzle ORM is meant to be a library, not a framework. It stays as an opt-in solution all the time at any levels.
- Planetscale
PlanetScale is a MySQL-compatible serverless database that brings you scale, performance, and reliability — without sacrificing developer experience.
- 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.
