Nice to see the JS ecosystem taking this route: fullstack frameworks.
Just like Next.js was built for zeit/now, redwood was built for Netlify.
Since Top Prester-Werner (Author) is in the board of Netlify this makes sense. But is it a good idea for frameworks to be tied to specific deployment platforms? Unsure, we’ll see!
While Redwood is currently optimized for deployment on Netlify, it is by no means restricted to that environment. Our intention is for Redwood apps to be deployable to a variety of JAMstack providers in addition to traditional serverful setups. My main interest is in providing an integrated, joy-inducing experience for app developers that want to leverage the full awesomeness of modern JavaScript and friends. It's true that if Netlify wins, I win too, but I'd rather DEVELOPERS win, and that's what keeps me motivated.
