Introducing Universal Deploy 🚀 Deploy Vite apps anywhere — with zero config. 👇🧵

> Vite remains vendor-neutral We're actually doubling down with new vendor-neutral APIs. Collaborating: - Vite (@patak.cat, @sapphi.red, @erus.dev) - Netlify (@philippeserhal.com, @biilmann.blog) - Cloudflare (James Opstad, @tk.gg) - Vike @vike.dev / Universal Deploy (Joel) Vite is and stays 💯

Great! 🚀 Hard to predict these things, but I'm optimistic Vite and VoidZero will stay mostly independent within Cloudflare. Vite and VoidZero can now focus on building great tools ⚡️ without money-pressure from investors 🕊️

React Paris 🗼 talk is live 🔴 Thank you @bejs.bsky.social for this truly special conference fueled by a unique energy ✨ First time speaking in front of *so* many people. Loved it — and I can't wait to polish every aspect of my talk. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtRx...

First, I explored the city a bit on Wednesday. Saw the Pantheon and Notre Dame, went to lunch with @nicolas.dubien.me and @francoisbest.com. Gave my workshop "React Query - Beyond the Basics" at the Pigment office, then went for Dinner with @tannerlinsley.com, @beaussan.io and @brillout.com

@brillout.com presenting @vike.dev at #reactparis. Love this wave of framework ideas enabled by Vite

ICYMI, ReactParis is happening tomorrow. Dinner with @tannerlinsley.com @brillout.com @beaussan.io

Can't wait!

🚀 @brillout.com is speaking at #ReactParis 2026 @vike.dev delivers #framework stability with radical flexibility: stable core, powerful hooks, next-gen DX (SPA/SSR/SSG, RPC), and a fully #opensource model... Join Rom as he reveals its architecture, use cases, and future. 👉🏼 react.paris

Lots of exciting things in Vike’s pipeline ✨ Can’t wait for 2026 🚀

What's your experience using LLMs regarding Vike? We're discussing what kind of Vike context we should add to LLMs: github.com/vikejs/vike/...

One of my favorite Photon features is its integration with Vite's Environment API. I can't repeat this enough: Vite's Environment API is an engineering feat that unlocks many capabilities. Huge props to James Opstad from @cloudflare.social and the @vite.dev team for designing it.

📢 Introducing Photon Next-generation infrastructure for deploying any JavaScript server. We're open to collaborating with other frameworks — the more we collaborate the better! 🤝 vike.dev/blog/photon

New tagline ✨

Using Telefunc and hitting some paper cuts? Let us know — we've time to work on Telefunc before our next Vike sprint kicks off.

@viteconf.org was a blast. It was amazing meeting so many folks from the Vite ecosystem. And... lots of new collaboration potential! With @pi0.io we got along really well and we want to collaborate on server & deployment infrastructure. Thank you so much @evanyou.me for everything.

🛠️ I'm running a @viteconf.org workshop on adding SSR to your Vite app. This Wednesday — join me! viteconf.amsterdam/workshops

🎤 I'll be speaking at the React Berlin Meetup on Thursday, September 25. Join us! We are already over 100 attendees — the more, the merrier. Thank you @reactsummit.gitnation.org @gitnation.bsky.social for organizing. guild.host/events/react...

Glad to see Nuxt get long-term funding — for Nuxt and also for their great libraries powering a big chunk of the JS ecosystem. Innovation is driven by hunger — curious to see whether it will fuel or mellow their drive. More stability for sure, but maybe less motivation to re-invent themselves 👀

Added use cases for +onCreatePageContext and +onCreateGlobalContext to the docs. Vike is the only framework with low-level hooks that let you build all kinds of web architectures. E.g. DocPress (SSG powering vike.dev) couldn't be built with other frameworks.

✨ 5,000 stars on GitHub ✨ 🚀 Road to 50k: - Make Vike the quickest way to get started with full-fledged apps (powered by Vike extensions + vike.dev/new) - Marketing first — time to spread the word! (We’ve been heads-down building Vike’s foundation — almost done!)

vike@0.4.232 ✨ Many HMR fixes for + files 💫 +redirects support for SSG Roadmap: - Finish internal refactoring and polishing - Open Source Pricing (we're hesitating about two different designs, we'll ask for feedback soon)

No AI open source developer in sight. AI has improved but it's hit a structural plateau — no breakthroughs. Next AI breakthrough? Next year? 5 years? 20? Everyone's free to guess and have a hunch, but any leader claiming certainty is most likely talking BS.

Glad to see Telefunc (telefunc.com) mentioned at the @svelte.dev conference: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dAT... Yes — having client and server code live inside the same file is a dead end. Hopefully Telefunc will inspire others as well. Thank you @rich-harris.dev for the shout out!

🧩 New extensions: vike-react-zustand (github.com/vikejs/vike-...) vike-react-redux (github.com/vikejs/vike-...) 🏷️ vike@0.4.230 New hook +onData (vike.dev/onData) — for populating stores with data. Huge props to Dani for implemneting vike-react-zustand 💫

Vite's modularity is remarkable 🧩 The Vite team cares so much about designing APIs for its ecosystem that @hiogawa.bsky.social (Vite team) created a PR refactoring our Vike + React + Server Components extension. Truly remarkable 💚 github.com/nitedani/vik...

Warnings are beautiful. Vike has 183 of them ✨ For all kinds of things, ranging from small paper cuts to important performance issues.

Part of our marketing plan is also to better explain — and sell — why Vike's architecture is the future, along with some of its more unusual decisions.

😍 Very excited about the future of server-side JavaScript. Joël and I are working on something very relevant to all this. Stay tuned.

📢 Introducing vike-server Joël, Dani, and I are beyond thrilled to announce vike-server — a new Vike extension that integrates Vite with any server (Express.js, Hono, ...) and any deployment (VPS, Netlify, Vercel, Cloudflare, ...). 👇 Blog post vike.dev/blog/vike-se...

👀 Big unveil next week 👀 Something Joël and I have been working on for months.

Now also talking with Netlify & Cloudflare. The ball is rolling. Can't wait to build the server infrastructure common to many frameworks. Similarly to what Vite did with compilation. universal-middleware (github.com/magne4000/un...) is just the beginning.

I'm psyched about a possible collaboration with Tanner — he's one of the most collaborative devS out there. Collaborative code FTW — Open Source is nice, Collaborative Code is 🚀 @vite.dev has shown how to share infrastructure, let's double done on that.

We're chatting with @tannerlinsley.com as we speak about sharing server infrastructure. Joël did an awesome job on universal-middleware, and we can't for it to eventually become the de facto JS server interop layer based on WinterCG and WHATWG.

After Gatsby (the previous build system) randomly died *again*, I migrated mausritter.com to use @vike.dev in a couple of hours. Much nicer api, super fast automated deploys 🙏

Vite 6.0.9 / 5.4.12 / 4.5.6 has been released with *breaking changes* due to security issues. I recommend upgrading it. Some users may need to update the config options. Please check github.com/vitejs/vite/... if you encountered any errors.

A new skin 🐛🦋 for a new year 🍾🎊 vike.dev has a brand new marketing. It's only the beginning of us focusing on advertising Vike. But, first things first, let's release 1.0 soon (ETA Q1). We can't wait. Happy new year.

Unofficial @vite.dev ecosystem meeting in Munich. @brillout.bsky.social has the greatest ideas but I’m better at drinking beer 🍺
