## What it is
The Epic Stack is an opinionated full-stack web application starter and reference built on Remix, with foundational tooling (auth, testing, deployment, CI) preconfigured. It is scaffolded via `npx epicli` and maintained by Kent C. Dodds and contributors.

## Use cases
- start a new full-stack web app without choosing tools
- scaffold a Remix project with auth and testing set up
- get a team aligned on one opinionated web stack
- ship a production-ready web app faster
- learn a reference architecture for modern web apps
- avoid analysis paralysis picking frontend and backend tooling

## When to choose
- you want a batteries-included Remix-based starter with deployment and CI configured
- you value opinionated defaults over making every tooling decision yourself
- you're starting a new production web app and want a stable foundation

## When to avoid
- you need a different frontend framework than React/Remix
- you want a minimal, unopinionated scaffold you configure yourself
- you're adding a stack to an existing codebase with its own conventions

## Facets
