Octane: a new web framework for Node.js

Octane is a web framework built for Node.js. It’s open source. The project lives on GitHub.

Octane is built for speed. It uses the latest Node.js features. That includes the new experimental server components and the server action features. It’s designed to be fast and lightweight.

Octane is not just another framework. It’s built from the ground up with performance in mind. It’s designed for developers who want a modern way to build web applications.

The project is open source. It’s available on GitHub. You can read the source code. You can see how it works.

Why this matters for us: our communities run small businesses and side hustles that need fast, affordable websites. Octane could be a cheaper, faster option for those of us who build our own sites, but we’ll need to see if it actually works in real life.
