Original caption
There are many instances where nextJS can be overkill for a web app. Here are four other frameworks you can use and the times when it’s better to use them instead of nextJS. For example, when building a SaaS app, you don’t need all the complexity of server side rendering because a lot is happening on the client. Here frameworks like Wasp, which use react + vite, and nodejs under the hood are better options. #fullstackdeveloper #webdevelopment #saas #coding #learntocode
