Choosing the right framework for your hosting needs.

A recent realization while building with Next.js — I initially went with Static Site Generation (SSG) thinking it would be a perfect mix of performance and simplicity. But once I introduced dynamic routes like "[id]", I hit the limits of static export pretty quickly. That’s when it clicked — static export and dynamic behavior just don’t mix well. Next.js shines when it has a server to lean on — for data fetching, incremental builds, or API routes. But if you’re deploying purely static files, something like Vite + React Router might be a better fit. Not really a mistake — more of a reminder: Always choose your framework based on how and where you plan to host. These small realizations shape your intuition over time — and honestly, that’s the best part of building things. 🚀 #Nextjs #Reactjs #WebDevelopment #Frontend #JavaScript #LearningByBuilding #DeveloperJourney #Vite #StaticSiteGeneration #DevThoughts
