Nuxt is often introduced as "Vue on the server" - but that framing sells short the full-stack powers that Nitro and h3 bring to the table. Many developers come to Nuxt from the front-end side and never fully tap into the server-side capabilities it offers.
In this Nuxt Nation 2024 talk, I took the audience on a tour of Nuxt's server layer: how Nitro acts as a server meta-framework with deployment presets for just about any runtime, how h3 powers the HTTP layer, and how the three pieces click together to unlock genuine full-stack development inside a single Nuxt project.

My first time speaking at Vue Fes Japan in Tokyo! I brought the "Gems of Nuxt" talk overseas and walked the audience through 8 lesser-known Nuxt features and patterns (different ones than in the previous talks of course!).
Alongside Sébastien Chopin, Pooya Parsa, and Daniel Roe, I joined the Nuxt Core Team panel at Nuxt Nation 2024.
