Astro vs. Next.js: A Detailed Comparison

Astro and Next.js are both popular frameworks for building modern web applications, but they have different strengths and use cases. In this post, we'll compare these two frameworks to help you decide which one is right for your project.

Next.js is a powerful framework for building full-stack applications with React. It offers features like server-side rendering, API routes, and static site generation, making it a versatile choice for many developers. However, its focus on React means it might not be the best fit for projects where performance is the top priority.

Astro, on the other hand, is designed for performance from the ground up. By delivering minimal JavaScript to the browser and optimizing for static content, Astro allows you to create incredibly fast websites. We'll explore the pros and cons of each framework and provide guidance on when to use Astro or Next.js.
