Razzle

Razzle is a tool that abstracts all complex configuration for SSR into a single dependency. Learn how to get started with Razzle in server-rendering React apps.

Universal React applications are tough to configure. Either you buy into a framework like Next.js, fork a boilerplate, or set things up yourself. Aiming to fill this void, Razzle is a tool that abstracts all the complex configuration needed for SSR into a single dependency--giving you the developer experience of create-react-app, but then leaving the rest of your app's architectural decisions about frameworks, routing, and data fetching up to you.

In this episode of React Round Up, the panel discusses Razzle and other projects with Jared Palmer. They talk about what Razzle is, the benefit of server-side rendering, and the difficulties he faced putting this project together. They also touch on why he chose to create Razzle and some of his other projects like Backpack and After.js.
