Hello, I'm the creator of Blitz.js (first announced 2.5 years ago)
Today the Blitz.js 2.0 pivot to a modular Next.js toolkit reached Beta status [1]
Previously Blitz abstracted Next.js, but Blitz 2.0 is now a modular toolkit that plugs into any new or existing Next.js app. Blitz picks up where Next.js leaves off, providing libraries and conventions for shipping and scaling small to large apps.
When I first created Blitz, my aim was to have an all-in-one fullstack framework for Javascript like Ruby on Rails. But that proved to be too difficult. I've decided that achieving an all-in-one framework for JS like Rails is too difficult unless you have a ton of funding and don't have to make meaningful money.
The difference with JS is that client-side frameworks like React have an incredible amount of complexity. Trying to manage all of that and all the other fullstack framework stuff like API layers, auth, file uploads, etc is too large of scope.
So now Blitz is no longer trying to do it all and is focusing on all the non-frontend functionality you need to ship web apps.
Going forward, we want to be the most trusted technical resource for rapidly building and scaling full-stack TypeScript apps.

As an aside, this is the first time I've heard about Flightcontrol. Super impressed! The biggest con of something like Vercel is that you can't be on your own AWS VPC. An RDS instance with a public IP address (which Vercel's docs endorse) is a dealbreaker for me.
But... wouldn't a Terraform module accomplish something simmilar? Our own stack is something like Codepipeline + Fargate + ALB + Cloudwatch + Cloudfront and we basically just forked https://github.com/cloudposse/terraform-aws-ecs-web-app
Something like Bull might do the job (https://github.com/OptimalBits/bull)
Heya! Creator of tRPC here. Seen some comments on trpc's ts perf issues.
Some notes:
- The problems with tRPC "at scale" are fixable by using project references, but not going to downplay that it's an annoying refactor to do (https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript-Handbook/blob/master...)
- All of the problems with trpc are inherent of any ts thing that is heavilily reliant on inference (hence also blitz) (https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/wiki/Performance#wri...)
