## Bighorn Epoch (current development epoch)

> **NOTE:** This section of the Readme is aspirational for the current development

> epoch we call Bighorn. Bighorn has not yet been released, but when it is, it will

> fulfill the promises of what you read below. If you’d like to help us on this

> journey, please say hi in the [Community Forums](https://redwoodjs.com/community)!

**Redwood is a framework for quickly creating React-based web applications that

provide an amazing end user experience.** Our goal is to be simple and approachable

enough for use in prototypes and hackathons, but performant and comprehensive enough

to evolve into your next startup.

We accomplish this in two primary ways:

1. Redwood is opinionated and full-stack. We’ve chosen the best technologies in the

   JS/TS ecosystem and beautifully integrated them into a cohesive framework that

   lets you get things done instead of endlessly evaluating technology options. You

   can get started using Redwood without a backend, but the framework really shines

   when you’re building a data driven application. Our transparent data fetching and

   optional GraphQL API make building and growing your application easier than you

   expect!

2. Redwood’s declarative data fetching and simple form submission features are built

   on top of RSC + Server Actions and simplify common use cases so you can focus on

   your users’ experience. Creating the best, most responsive user interfaces

   requires reasoning about whether code should execute on the server or the client.

   Redwood makes it easy to choose the best execution context for your code by

   leveraging the power of React Server Components.

The entire framework is built with TypeScript, so you get type safety from the router

to the database and everywhere in-between. If you’d rather build your app with

JavaScript, you can do that too, and still enjoy great code completion features in

your favorite editor.

> **TRY BIGHORN:** While Bighorn does not yet have a production release, we do

> publish the latest code as canaries, and we welcome you to experiment with them!

> The best way to get familiar with these canaries is to keep an eye on the [Redwood

> Blog](https://redwoodjs.com/blog).

## Arapahoe Epoch (current stable release)

**Redwood is an opinionated, full-stack, JavaScript/TypeScript web application

framework designed to keep you moving fast as your app grows from side project to

startup.**

At the highest level, a Redwood app is a React frontend that talks to a custom

GraphQL API. The API uses Prisma to operate on a database. Out of the box you get

tightly integrated testing with Jest, logging with Pino, and a UI component catalog

with Storybook. Setting up authentication (like Auth0) or CSS frameworks (like

Tailwind CSS) are a single command line invocation away. And to top it off, Redwood's

architecture allows you to deploy to either serverless providers (e.g. Netlify,

Vercel) or traditional server and container providers (e.g. AWS, Render) with nearly

no code changes between the two!

By making a lot of decisions for you, Redwood lets you get to work on what makes your

application special, instead of wasting cycles choosing and re-choosing various

technologies and configurations. Plus, because Redwood is a proper framework, you

benefit from continued performance and feature upgrades over time and with minimum

effort.

> **TUTORIAL:** The best way to get to know Redwood is by going through the

> extensive [Redwood Tutorial](https://redwoodjs.com/docs/tutorial). Have fun!

> **QUICK START:** You can install and run a full-stack Redwood application on

> your machine with only a couple commands. Check out the [Quick

> Start](https://redwoodjs.com/docs/quick-start) guide to get started.

> **DOCS:** Visit the full [RedwoodJS

> Documentation](https://redwoodjs.com/docs/introduction) for extensive reference

> docs and guides.

## About

Redwood is the latest open source project initiated by Tom Preston-Werner, cofounder

of GitHub (most popular code host on the planet), creator of Jekyll (one of the first

and most popular static site generators), creator of Gravatar (the most popular

avatar service on the planet), author of the Semantic Versioning specification

(powers the Node packaging ecosystem), and inventor of TOML (an obvious, minimal

configuration language used by many projects).

## Technologies

We are obsessed with developer experience and eliminating as much boilerplate as

possible. Where existing libraries elegantly solve our problems, we use them;

where they don't, we write our own solutions. The end result is a JavaScript

development experience you can fall in love with!

Here's a quick taste of the technologies a standard Redwood application will

use:

- [React](https://react.dev/)

- [Vite](https://vitejs.dev/)

- [Prisma](https://www.prisma.io/)

- [Jest](https://jestjs.io/)

- [Storybook](https://storybook.js.org/)

- [Pino](https://getpino.io)

If you'd like to use our optional built-in GraphQL API support, here's our stack:

- [GraphQL](https://graphql.org/)

- [GraphQL Yoga](https://www.graphql-yoga.com)

- [Envelop](https://www.envelop.dev)

- [Apollo Client](https://www.apollographql.com/docs/react)

## Roadmap

A framework like Redwood has a lot of moving parts; the Roadmap is a great way

to get a high-level overview of where the framework is relative to where we want

it to be. And since we link to all of our GitHub project boards, it's also a

great way to get involved! [Roadmap](https://redwoodjs.com/roadmap)

## Why is it called Redwood?

_(A history, by Tom Preston-Werner)_

Where I live in Northern California there is a type of tree called a redwood.

Redwoods are HUGE, the tallest in the world, some topping out at 115 meters (380

feet) in height. The eldest of the still-living redwoods sprouted from the

ground an astonishing 3,200 years ago. To stand among them is transcendent.

Sometimes, when I need to think or be creative, I will journey to my favorite

grove of redwoods and walk among these giants, soaking myself in their silent

grandeur.

In addition, Redwoods have a few properties that I thought would be aspirational

for my nascent web app framework. Namely:

- **Redwoods are beautiful as saplings, and grow to be majestic.** What if you

  could feel that way about your web app?

- **Redwood pinecones are dense and surprisingly small.** Can we allow you to

  get more done with less code?

- **Redwood trees are resistant to fire.** Surprisingly robust to disaster

  scenarios, just like a great web framework should be!

- **Redwoods appear complex from afar, but simple up close.** Their branching

  structure provides order and allows for emergent complexity within a simple

  framework. Can a web framework do the same?

And there you have it.
