Next.js: The Future Of React?

I can just use React.js which is already a library!

🚀 Here's all you need to know about Next.js

💪 What are the benefits of SSR with Next.js?

This is a very superficial post. Server-side rendering has some downsides. You are placing a lot of ownership on the server instead of pushing the rendering to clients that have spare processing power. This can become a scalability concern. I am not entirely sold on this approach. It feels like a reversion to classic ASP or PHP. SSO is one key benefit but techniques do exist to overcome these issues. With today’s modern web browsers, compatibility concerns are less of a problem and can be overcome.

Both are very easy to follow, 100% recommended 😎

I can’t tell why but I always prefer built SPAs over Next.js, I just can’t get the hang of it. Is prefering React over Next.js already oldschool?
Comparing the release cycle of Next.js with React certainly makes me feel so.
