What is RedwoodSDK?
RedwoodSDK gives you a complete set of composable tools to handle the request/response lifecycle of webapps.
At its core, it’s just a Vite plugin that seamlessly enables SSR, React Server Components, React Server Functions, and real-time.
It’s also a standards-compliant HTTP server with middleware, route handling, and interruptors—giving you full control over every request.
All of it runs on the Cloudflare Development Platform, with seamless access to compute (Workers/ Durable Objects), database (D1), storage (R2), queues, and AI. Thanks to Cloudflare’s Miniflare Simulator, you don’t need to install any additional services locally. Development matches production!
Design Philosophy
We believe that the best way to build webapps is to be standards-compliant, to adhere to the request/response paradigm, and to be transparent and composable.
Standards compliant
We’ve removed the pain of abstracting away the underlying platform, and instead embraced it. The browser is the primary focus, with the request/response cycle as the foundation.
Request/Response
The Request and Response objects are the foundation of the request/response paradigm.
By focusing on these objects, you’ll able to seamlessly integrate with the web, streaming responses to the browser, and even build real-time applications.
Transparent and composable
You are able to follow the flow from request to response, and to understand, and mofify, how each step is handled.
