[If you don't need the features of a controller (the only one I can really think of is common middleware per Controller, but you can do the same thing with a route group), you can use Closures in your routes. Since Laravel 8 there is no impact on route caching and it eliminates half the code you have to write in Laravel. I have slowly gotten rid of using Controllers for things that don't need a controller, like getting all users (hopefully you plan to paginate this, or already have and just simplified it for this blog post?) or displaying a simple view (Route::view is my best friend for all of those required static pages like Policies, Terms & Conditions, etc.](https://hashnode.com/posts/adding-a-laravel-backend-to-a-remix-app/62a874fa0baf4306d9493798/comment/62b0bccf5abe3c6b79d140ef)
