While I loved using Remix v3 for LogSpace, I wanted to see how far I could push things with a more bare-bones stack:

• Bun's built in APIs (HTTP & Markdown rendering)
• Effect v4 (error handling, database access, schema validation), and
• DataStar (frontend interactivity and data fetching)

Turns out the new setup:

• processes requests 5-10x faster
• can handle 5-10x higher traffic
• has 55% lower memory usage
• serves just 13 KB of client-side JS

I simply had to switch. The new stack is now live!
