2025-11-20 –, Stage 2 (second floor)
Frameworks like Next.js or Remix regularly introduce breaking changes with radically different approaches, forcing large projects into years-long migrations. Innovation requires disruption — but can a framework provide a stable foundation while fostering innovation?
Vike is built on a stable, rock-solid core with powerful low-level hooks. This offers unprecedented flexibility (and room for innovation) — alongside unprecedented stability.
Rom will show Vike's:
- Architecture (stable core with powerful extensions)
- Use cases (how Burda uses Vike for focus.de, chip.de, bunte.de, and eventually all their brands)
- DX (first-class SPA/SSR/SSG, RPC, file-based server/client separation, next-gen scaffolder)
- Business model (100% open source, 100% gratis for engineers, asking larger companies to contribute)
- Future (of web frameworks)
