The New Stack interviews Kent Dodds, web developer, about his development decisions on his professional site and why he'd still choose Node.

The New Stack is a publication covering trends and technologies in cloud-native development, DevOps, and software delivery. Developers can learn about containerization, Kubernetes, and cloud computing, as well as explore topics such as microservices architecture, serverless computing, and continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines.

Kent Dodds, co-founder of Remix framework, discusses his current tech stack choices and recommendations. He still advocates for Remix (now React Router 7) for web applications, continues using Node.js over newer alternatives like Deno or Bun, and highlights MSW (Mock Service Worker) as his secret weapon for API mocking during development. Dodds explains his hosting preferences, favoring Fly.io for dynamic sites, and promotes his Epic Stack as a comprehensive starter template that reflects his latest development practices.
