nitro VS miniflare

Nitro is a nice https webserver that you can deploy everywhere. Comparing it to express, it doesn't need weird middlewares for json, it has a simple way to support caching, a file system router, tasks and scheduled tasks that avoid quite a few shell scripts, db:migrations etc, plugins, KV storages, SQL connectors, websockets...

Vinxi is really a kind of Meta-Router / Router Manager (built on the dev-server and bundler-toolkit Vite and the http-server Nitro). Vinxi uses various routers of your choosing as a core primitive, and allows you to compose them in a centralized config so that they work together. Be it server or client routers.

Analog allows you to deploy anywhere, literally. It uses Nitro toolkit which has options for anything while working with Vite.

Not to be confused with https://nitro.unjs.io the server tech behind Nuxt and SolidStart

Nuxt is powered by an internal server called Nitro. You can see its manifestation in the terminal console right after you start your local dev server:

Until it support websocket, I think it is simply a no.

https://github.com/unjs/nitro/issues/678

It's 2023 and there is a web framework that "can't" handle websocket at all. (Not even just proxying and doing nothing else.) Feels like a joke to me.

Last week, my first actual contribution into a public open source project has been merged. Its actually only a small changes into Unstorage library, which is used by Nitros server engine, which in turn used by the popular NuxtJs framework. At the time, I was stuck in one of my side project which used Nuxt because Unstorage is lacking some functionalities that I need. However because Unstorage is 2 layers deep in the dependency tree, its not trivial for me to change the code there.

Recently Cloudflare introduces Miniflare. As its name suggests, Miniflare is a feature-rich but miniature version of Cloudflare worker. Miniflare is a simulator that provides an environment for developing and testing Cloudflare worker scripts locally. Miniflare is written in typescript and supports most of the Cloudflare worker features like the KV database, durable objects, WebSockets, etc.

Another implementation of the above is Cloudfare workers you might be capable of grasp some ideas from here https://miniflare.dev

Is there an ETA on Miniflare v3? Ran into a problem recently using overlapping keys with forward slashes as they were not sanitized properly: https://github.com/cloudflare/miniflare/issues/167

The KV API is only available on Cloudflare Workers. But, during development, Rakkas runs our app on Node.js. Fortunately, the Miniflare project has a KV implementation for Node. The other two packages that we've installed (@miniflare/kv and @miniflare/storage-memory) are what we need to be able to use the KV API during development. Let's create a src/kv-mock.ts file and create a local KV store to store our ublog posts ("twits") while testing:

I used hono (a wrapper around miniflare) to handle some of the boilerplate around request and routing logic. It's also refreshingly fast! 🔥

The simple explanation is that I'm proposing use of the Service Worker API. Cloudflare offers a flat, free, 100k requests a day if you can keep it cutting edge, has local development and testing options with miniflare and a key/value (KV) store.

When we run the dev script, this will ensure that the local runtime environment Miniflare will bind a KV with the name sessionStorage to our Pages function.

Slshx is a library for building strongly-typed Discord commands (https://discord.com/developers/docs/interactions/application...) that run on Cloudflare Workers (https://workers.cloudflare.com/), using a React-inspired syntax (hooks and JSX). It supports all Discord command types/options, autocomplete and interactive message components. During development, it automatically deploys your commands whenever you change your code.

I created this because I think Cloudflare Workers are a great fit for hosting Discord commands, but there wasn't an easy way to get started that had a fun development experience. I also wanted to see what a Miniflare-first (https://github.com/cloudflare/miniflare) library could look like.
