Remix

What is Remix?

Remix is a full-stack React framework built around web fundamentals: HTML forms, HTTP caching, and server rendering, rather than routing around them. It was acquired by Shopify in 2022 and later merged its router and runtime into React Router, so today "Remix" mostly means that same nested-routing, loader/action model shipped as part of React Router's framework mode. Developers who want data mutations to work even with JavaScript disabled, and who'd rather lean on the platform than reinvent it, tend to reach for it.

Key features

• Nested routing with loaders and actions co-located per route, so data fetching and mutations live next to the UI that needs them
• Progressive enhancement by default: forms work without client-side JS, then get enhanced once it loads
• Built-in support for streaming responses and deferred data, so slow data doesn't block a whole page render
• Backed by Shopify, with React Router as its long-term home, which gives it more institutional staying power than most React frameworks outside of Next.js

Who it's for

Good for form-heavy apps, e-commerce, and anything where you want server-rendered HTML and real HTTP semantics instead of a client-heavy SPA. Less of a fit if you specifically want Next.js's ecosystem size or Vercel's zero-config deploy story.

Pricing

Remix itself is free and open source; you pay only for wherever you choose to host it.
