will Payload support Remix?

[jesse996]

I very like Payload, but wonder will it support Remix in the future? Next.js tied with Vervel too much,Remix support other plateform like cloudflare,so i wish payload support Remix in the future, Thank you!

You can use any framework for your app/website, but Payload is Next.js based for now, and I don't think, that it will change in the further years.

P.S.: You can use multiple frameworks for your app, so it's not a blocker. However, Next.js is really too tied with Vercel, and that's an issue...

Payload is first and foremost a headless CMS - that means you're running two seperate applications, a user facing app, and a backend admin app. Payload is the latter.

Before 3.0, payload and your user facing site were entirely seperate in all cases, and you'd use the GraphQL or REST API in your user facing application to get the data from payload, just like any other headless CMS. Next, Remix, Astro, or almost any other framework can be the basis for the user facing app because these are open standards.

Because 3.0 is written on top of nextjs, there's a special feature where you can install the payload instance into the same project as your user facing app, which gives you access to a local API on top of GQL and REST. This is totally optional and just really nice if you're a NextJS shop already.

Worth noting that before 3.0 it wasn't possible to host payload on any serverless platform because it required a long running express server. Just like any other next app, it works on most serverless platforms and can always just run as a standalone process if you're all in on the $5 vps lifestyle.

Taking into account v3 payload now is living in codebase, and it seems like it should and can be framework agnostic :/
Remix, Astro etc all have folder structure and http route handlers that could just do what payload has to do based on Web Standard's Request/Response

And Remix itself has express running..
