The purpose, deployment shapes, and design decisions behind zfb.

Architecture overviewTop-down mental model of zfb's runtime stack — build-time vs browser JS, what runs where, and why the Hono/Workers shape is the stable contract.Choosing zfbWho zfb is for, how the three run shapes — static build, SSR on Cloudflare Workers, and a local content server — map onto real projects, and where the scaling sweet spot is.Three ways to run zfbOne Request/Response application, three run shapes — prerendered to static HTML at build time, served on Cloudflare Workers at request time, or run as a local content server inside another program.Design PhilosophyWhy zfb stays narrow on purpose, and why the AI era tips the balance further toward recipes over plugins.Engine vs Frameworkzfb is the engine — frameworks like zudo-doc sit on top of its primitives.Why RustThe bet behind writing a static-site framework in Rust, what it buys, and what it costs.
