Remix is great and it's my favorite meta framework. I've used it on some quick MVPs and a blog but when it comes to production apps as one-man-shop, I always go back to my safety zone of Rails. For those running robust Remix apps: can you share your stack and where you deploy? How are you doing auth? Are you on a team or doing solo work? I'm genuinely curious because I would love to leverage so much of React (UI components, etc.).

My stack is Remix + Hasura + FastAPI + Postgres, with Apollo client and Tailwind. In my opinion this is the best in slot loadout for the majority of web apps in 2024.

  Everyone thinks their preferred stack is the best in the world and should be used by everyone for everything and everything else is wrong. It’s so funny.

Experienced solo Rails dev here. I'm on Remix / Drizzle ORM / Render.com / Render Postgres / Cloudflare R2 / DaisyUI + shadcn/ui these days. Drizzle can be a bit tricky if you're coming from ActiveRecord but once you have your own helpers with a base class that implements common method such as find_by({ key: value}) / create({ data }) / update(id, { data }) / delete(id), things get better. Render is really good - you don't need any specific configs, just set env vars on their dashboard and git push to deploy. Simpler and better than Heroku workflow. You can take a look at https://github.com/remix-run/blues-stack https://github.com/remix-run/blues-stack to learn how you'd manually implement cookie-based auth on this framework. Remix is the closest thing to Rails in the JS ecosystem IMO

At work we are using Inertia.js as an interface between React and Rails (inertia is just a tiny library/protocol that lets you use React or Vue replacing your mvc framework templates) Check it out, it’s really nice.
