RedwoodJS is going into maintenance mode and is named Redwood GraphQL.

RedwoodSDK is the focus for the team going forward. "It begins as a Vite plugin that unlocks SSR, React Server Components, Server Functions, and realtime features". Which reminds me of the modular approach of Vike.dev (aka. vite-plugin-ssr).

Seems like the unbundled and modular approach won over the opinionated fullstack all-in-one framework approach.
