The Architecture of Simplicity

Server-First by Default

When a request comes in, Vista renders your React tree as a stream and starts sending UI early instead of waiting for a full HTML string.

Routing Model

File-system routes, nested layouts, and catch-all segments are built in so application structure stays predictable.

Four product paths

• React app — pages and layouts under app/.
• Fullstack — route.ts, typed procedures, vista g auth, middleware.ts.
• AI — vista g agent plus vista/ai.
• RAG — InMemoryVectorStore, createRetrieverTool, embedText.

You add those folders in the same project. You do not start a second Node server.

DX Philosophy

Power should feel obvious, not hidden behind ceremony.
