Introducing the New Litestar Website and the upcoming 3.0 release

We are thrilled to announce the launch of our new website along the beta of the upcoming v3 version of Litestar. This major update is the result of months of hard work and dedication from our team, and we can't wait to share it with you! We also revamped and improved the documentation for the v3 !

Website

With the upcoming v3, we wanted to have a new website that would reflect evolution of the project and the ecosystem around the framework.

Plugin Directory

We wired a page to list all the plugins available for the Litestar framework. It includes official plugins maintained by the Litestar team as well as plugins developped by the community.

Submit Your Plugin

If you want to develop or register your plugin, you can have it listed there by submitting your plugin:

Fork the litestar-org/plugin-registry repository
Add your plugin information following our submission guidelines
Create a pull request with your plugin details

We will then merge our submission and you will be listed in the plugin page.

Blog Section

We decided to add a blog to share some exciting news about the litestar framework and the ecosystem. We will be posting release announcements and updates.

Next improvements

We have a ton of ideas for the website, not sure all the things we have in mind will make it one day, but here is a list of some of the things:

Deployment guide (how to deploy your Litestar application in production)
Tutorials (interactive tutorials to learn Litestar hands-on)
Starter templates (boilerplates to kickstart your projects or create a plugin)
Docker and containerization best practices
Performance optimization tips

This section will help you take your Litestar applications from development to production with confidence.

Litestar v3

Development progress

We are releasing the first beta of Litestar for the 3.0 version, which currently ships all the major features we wanted for the v3. This major release will bring significant improvements in developer experience, performance, and ecosystem integration. We're targeting a release by Q3-Q4 of 2026.

Stay tuned for more updates as we approach the v3 release!

New documentation

We have revamped the documentation for the v3 release, making it more comprehensive and easier to navigate. But writing good documentation is hard and takes a lot of time, so we are still working on it and we will keep improving it as we get closer to the release.

Do not hesitate to check it out and give us feedback on how we can improve it, or even better, contribute to it if you want to help us!
