Remix on Fastly Compute

Deploy and serve your Remix website from Fastly's blazing-fast Compute.

NEW! This is for version 2 of Remix. If you need to use Remix version 1, then use @fastly/remix-compute-js@3.

Remix

Remix is a popular JavaScript-based full stack web framework that is designed to allow the developer to focus on the user interface and work back through web standards to deliver a fast, slick, and resilient user experience.

Usage

The easiest way to get up and running is to use Remix's CLI to initialize your project, specifying https://github.com/fastly/remix-compute-js/tree/main/packages/remix-template as the template. See using the template below.

If you already have a Remix application that you'd like to move to Fastly Compute, see MIGRATING.md.

Once you have initialized your project, start the application:

npm run dev

You can browse your shiny new application at http://127.0.0.1:7676!

To deploy your project to Fastly, use the following commands:

npm run build
npm run deploy

For more details, see the README file of remix-template.

Structure

This monorepo contains three projects:

• @fastly/remix-server-runtime

  A runtime that implements the interfaces defined in @remix-run/server-runtime. Allows the Remix framework to run on Fastly Compute.

• @fastly/remix-server-adapter

  An adapter that allows the Compute JavaScript entry point program to start Remix.

• remix-template

  A template to be used with remix create to initialize a Remix application. The template is configured with the above libraries so that it is able to run on Fastly Compute.

Using the template

Initialize your new Remix application by running the following:

npm create remix@latest ./new-app-js -- --template https://github.com/fastly/remix-compute-js/tree/main/packages/remix-template

Webpack

Out of the box, this library does not use Webpack or polyfills to work under Fastly Compute. There are cases where you may still want to use Webpack, such as if you want to replace global modules or use polyfills. For details, see "Module bundling" in the template's README.
