https://blog.bext.dev Release notes, technical deep-dives, and ecosystem news from bext. en https://blog.bext.dev/2026-06-five-frameworks-one-app Mon, 22 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT We built the same app in Next.js, Remix, Astro, Qwik, and bext, then forced every one of them to render fresh on each request and measured it. bext renders fastest — and the fairness rule cost Next.js a 5× drop it had been hiding. engineering https://blog.bext.dev/2026-06-resumability-and-hmr Sun, 21 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT bext islands now resume instead of hydrate — they ship ~0.6KB gzipped, run nothing on load, and survive an edit with their state intact. Here's how it works, what we measured, and what we deliberately left out. engineering https://blog.bext.dev/2026-06-multi-tenant-hosting Fri, 12 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT Running web apps one-process-per-app is exactly why running many of them is expensive. bext shares one render pool across every site on the box. Here's the model — and where it breaks down. engineering https://blog.bext.dev/2026-06-pool-stall-postmortem Fri, 12 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT On June 10, a single page render wedged a worker in our shared V8 pool — and within seconds, every site on the server stopped responding. A blameless post-mortem of how one render became everyone's outage, and the defense-in-depth that bounds it now. engineering https://blog.bext.dev/2026-03-building-plugins Sat, 28 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMT bext plugins let you add custom middleware, transforms, and cache backends. Here's how to build one with QuickJS, WASM, or Python. tutorial https://blog.bext.dev/2026-03-migrating-from-vercel Thu, 12 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMT A step-by-step guide to moving your Next.js app from Vercel to bext — with zero code changes, automatic TLS, and ISR that just works. guide https://blog.bext.dev/2026-02-benchmarks-explained Tue, 24 Feb 2026 00:00:00 GMT Everyone claims their framework is fast. Here's exactly how we measured bext against Next.js, why we report ratios instead of headline numbers, and where the gains actually come from. engineering https://blog.bext.dev/2026-02-architecture-deep-dive Tue, 10 Feb 2026 00:00:00 GMT A look at the architecture decisions behind bext — the shared V8 render pool, on-demand compilation, the ISR stampede guard, and the watchdog that keeps one bad render from taking down the server. engineering https://blog.bext.dev/2026-01-introducing-bext Thu, 15 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT Today we're open-sourcing bext — a single Rust binary that replaces nginx, certbot, Cloudflare WAF, Redis, PM2, and Vercel. release
