You don't need Next.js

ComfyDeploy transitioned from using Next.js to just React for their dashboard, resulting in faster build times and happier developers. The move was motivated by high Vercel costs, complex API testing, and slow builds. By switching to React with TanStack Router and Rspack, they achieved near-instant dev server starts and significantly reduced build times. The change also led to better architectural decisions, clearer separation of concerns, and a more enjoyable development experience.
