1.0 Highlights 
Throughout each stage of development, from design to deployment, Redwood’s integrated features create the workflow you need to iterate more quickly, catch bugs earlier and more often, deploy more frequently, and (when you’re ready) scale your development team.
Design
Mockup, build and verify components in Storybook, even in complete isolation from the backend. Work on design without worrying about data.
Test
Whether it’s TDD or DDT, Redwood uses Jest along with mocks (MSW) and scenarios to verify functionality on the frontend and the backend.
Auth & Security
Redwood is seriously secure, by default. Lock down your front and backends with your own self-hosted auth or integrate with nearly a dozen third-party auth providers. Verify access with RBAC and Validations.
Data & Transport
When your API is GraphQL you’re ready for any client, from the browser to native mobile apps and more. Transform your data with Directives and keep your business logic organized and reusable within Services.
Deploy
Deploy your app to serverless hosts like Netlify and Vercel, build for containers, or deploy to bare metal.
Scale Your Team
Growing your team can be as challenging as growing your product. From the instant you install to the day you’re ready to hire, the Redwood community is where relationships go from collaboration to co-founder.
