BHVR (Beaver) is a new JavaScript stack that combines four popular tools to create vendor-agnostic Jamstack applications as an alternative to Next.js. It uses a monorepo structure with Bun workspaces, includes API support through Hono, and focuses on client-side rendering and single-page applications. While it offers deployment flexibility compared to Next.js's Vercel optimization, it lacks some advanced features like server-side rendering, file-based routing, and automatic image optimization that Next.js provides out of the box.
