I don’t use Next.js unless it makes sense or I absolutely have to. I will admit it’s good when you need full SSR like for e-commerce, but the trade offs are rough imo

I honestly think Vite's more than enough for SSR/SSG needs. It doesn't enforce filesystem based routing and you can fetch whatever data you need to render such pages in a single script and also hydrate. Personally, the main advantage to using Next for me (and most others who come from a frontend background) has been the ease of deployment. I don't think that's a strong enough incentive to keep up with an ever changing ecosystem. Might as well learn CI/CD stuff instead.

Very true; Vite is so damn good 😭 I think back in the day handling a server/backend was much harder than it is now. For most things you can use a Cloudflare worker and those can be deployed in a single CLI command. Use a framework like Hono and you get a fantastic developer experience when building your API. If you’re interested, this is one of the things I’m trying to tackle in bhvr.dev: a simple framework for fullstack apps. It’s not a drop in replacement for everything, but imo it provides a simple alternative to Next if you just want client and server in the same repo. I’m also working on a pretty slick integration with https://orbiter.host which will make that transition even more seamless!

Oooh okay, checking these out, thanks for sharing! I came across Orbiter yesterday I think. I'm actually looking for a simple solution to host my personal site. I was considering GitHub pages, but this seems really enticing. I'll keep you posted and reach out if I need any help 🙌
