Introduction

VitNode is a full-stack framework with CMS capabilities designed to accelerate your development workflow while providing the tools you need to build modern, scalable, and secure applications with build-in Admin Control Panel (AdminCP).

Built on top of NextJS (React) for the frontend, NestJS (Express) for the backend, and PostgreSQL as the database.

Why not VitNode?

Don't choose VitNode if you want:

• Static Websites: VitNode is designed for dynamic applications, not static websites.
• Non-TypeScript Projects: If your team prefers languages like Python (Django) or PHP (Laravel), VitNode's JavaScript-based stack might not be the best fit.
• Minimalistic Apps: For extremely lightweight or single-function apps without AdminCP, VitNode may offer more features than needed.
• Single Serverless Apps: VitNode is designed for server-based applications, not serverless functions. We're focused on self-hosted, scalable applications. (But we have plans for serverless support in the future!)
