## What it is
RedwoodSDK is a server-first React framework built as a Vite plugin for the Cloudflare platform, enabling React Server Components, server functions, and a type-safe standards-based router. It includes realtime primitives via Durable Objects and integrates with Cloudflare services like D1, R2, and Queues.

## Use cases
- build a full-stack React app deployed to Cloudflare Workers
- use React Server Components with server functions
- add realtime synced state across clients without WebSockets
- create a type-safe server router with middleware
- scaffold a Vite-based React project for the edge
- build server-rendered React pages with streaming responses

## When to choose
- you deploy exclusively to Cloudflare Workers/workerd
- you want server-first React with RSC and minimal abstraction
- you need realtime state sync built on Durable Objects
- you prefer web standards over framework magic

## When to avoid
- you target Node.js servers or other clouds like Vercel or AWS
- you need a mature ecosystem with extensive plugins and community packages
- you want file-based routing conventions out of the box
- your team depends on Next.js-specific features

## Facets
