Overview

The T3 App Router (Edge) is an innovative project that pushes the boundaries of web development by leveraging the T3 Stack on the Edge runtime. It’s an experimental approach designed primarily for developers eager to learn and explore the capabilities of Next.js’s beta App Router. Although still in its infancy and not intended for production use, it provides an exciting playground for those interested in modern app architecture.

This project stands out as a collective effort, showcasing the integration of various ideas and technologies. It’s a birds-eye view of how to build applications with edge capabilities while utilizing state-of-the-art tools like drizzle-orm and Auth.js, making it a valuable resource for developers aiming to push the envelope in app development.
