Introduction
SolidJS has gained popularity for its exceptional performance. SolidStart, its meta-framework, brings that philosophy to building full applications with routing, SSR, and more.
What makes SolidStart unique
Unlike React or Vue, SolidJS doesn't use a Virtual DOM. It compiles directly to real DOM operations, resulting in smaller bundles and better performance.
Signals as Foundation
SolidJS signals are the fundamental reactive primitive. createSignal, createEffect, and createMemo offer fine-grained reactivity without re-renders.
Built-in Routing
SolidStart includes a file-system router with automatic lazy loading, nested layouts, and API route support.
SSR and Streaming
The server renders initial HTML that progressively hydrates. Streaming sends content to the client as it's generated.
Conclusion
SolidStart is ideal for applications that need maximum performance. At Vynta, we explore SolidJS for projects where every millisecond counts.
