I'm of very two minds with regards to Next.js. On one hand it gives you so many things to like out of the box, especially when you pair it with something like T3 and the like. On the other hand, it's such a massive goliath that it blows my mind how it gets going at all. It's slow to the point where usually you don't even need to think about performance for basic web apps, but with Next.js you do. Etc. As with any tool, it comes with tradeoffs. Luckily for you, a saving grace of Next.js is that if you ever decide it really does not work for you, you can probably get off of it with comparatively less pain than some other stack change. Your frontend is just React, that will still all work. And if you squint a little, your backend is just Javascript, so you can take it to regular Node land.
