Ecosystem

Discover frameworks and tools built with Photon.

Frameworks

Vike

Vike is a fast Vite-based framework that uses Photon under the hood.

Features:

• Flexible architecture - Choose your own view library (React, Vue, Solid, etc.)
• Universal deployment - Deploy to any platform thanks to Photon
• Fast development - Vite-powered with instant HMR
• Server flexibility - Works with any server framework

Getting Started:

npm create vike@latest my-app
cd my-app
npm run dev

Why Vike uses Photon:

• Universal deployment without vendor lock-in
• Server framework flexibility for different use cases
• Future-proof architecture that adapts to new runtimes

More Frameworks Coming Soon

The Photon ecosystem is growing. Framework developers are building on Photon to provide:

• Universal deployment capabilities
• Server framework flexibility
• Multi-runtime support
• Future-proof architecture

Tools and Libraries

Deployment Adapters

Running on Node/Bun/Deno is supported out-of-the-box. Additional deployment targets require platform-specific adapters:

• @photonjs/cloudflare - Deploy to Cloudflare Workers and Pages
• @photonjs/vercel (Coming Soon) - Deploy to Vercel
• @photonjs/netlify (Coming Soon) - Deploy to Netlify

Server Adapters

• @photonjs/hono - Hono framework integration
• @photonjs/express - Express.js integration
• @photonjs/fastify - Fastify integration
• @photonjs/elysia - Elysia integration
• @photonjs/h3 - H3 integration
• @photonjs/hattip - HatTip integration
