I'm curious what frontend frameworks you're all interested in these days? Powerful meta frameworks have been built using libraries like Vue and React. Next.js comes to mind: Remix is a new contender, and we have other notable projects like SvelteKit, Astro, Eleventy, etc.
I'm on the ecosystem team working on frameworks in my new role at Netlify. Our job, at the moment, because I'm sure it will evolve, is to ensure whatever you deploy to Netlify deploys seamlessly. I'm not saying this to promote Netlify, although it's incredible. It's to express my excitement at this type of role.
I need to know how all these frameworks work now in my new role, which is super exciting.
For example, if you weren't aware, Netlify released their Edge functions offering a couple of weeks ago. My coworker Salma has a great post about them.
My other awesome coworker Eduardo released a deep dive article about Netlify Edge functions.
I bring this up because I get to continue to work in open source in my role at Netlify. Edge functions use the amazing Deno project, a modern open-source runtime for JavaScript and Typescript.

I was looking into an issue with Netlify Edge functions within the Remix framework.

Code of Conduct

One of the core team members had issues getting Edge functions to work with Remix. After some fun detective work, I figured out the issue. TLDR; a polyfill wasn't web standards compliant, so the bug only occurred when Edge functions because Deno is web standards compliant. In contrast, regular serverless functions used the non-web standards-compliant polyfill in Node.js land.
It's not fixed yet, at least when writing this post, but the Remix core team is working on it. It was tons of fun to figure things out publicly and share my findings, as this is open-source baby!
I'm stoked to continue exploring this role, working with the developer community, our customers, my co-workers, and open-source community!
Peace peeps!
