About SolidStart
SolidStart is a full-stack framework for SolidJS apps. It combines Solid's reactivity with server functions, data loading and deployment tooling, and it builds on Vite and the Nitro server engine.
What it does
Server functions and server actions let you run code on the server next to the component that calls it. Data loads in parallel and can be preloaded, and identical requests in one round trip are deduplicated. Mutations return fresh data in the same network flight, which avoids extra waiting after a form submits. Deployment uses Vite plugins for hosts such as Netlify, Cloudflare and Vercel.
Key features
- Server functions and form actions
- Single-flight mutations that avoid extra round trips
- Request and resource deduplication
- Vite plugins for many hosting providers
Who it's for
SolidJS developers who want a full-stack framework that matches their component model. It also suits teams that want deployment choices and the option to pick a router, since Solid Router and TanStack Router are both supported.
Pricing and good to know
SolidStart is open source under the MIT licence and free to use. The page says it can deploy to more than twenty platforms, but each platform has its own setup steps. Because it is tied to Solid, React libraries will need adapters or replacements.
