If anyone is looking for a good alternate to NextJS, try looking into Tanstack Start. It's currently Beta but it will probably be the best way to build full stack React apps when it hits 1.0 so it might be worth looking into for future apps.

You just add a plugin into Vite and gain SSR, streaming, server functions, API routes with minimal configuration. You basically just add a ssr.tsx and client.tsx file into your existing TanStack Router application and it becomes full stack with full type safe.

If you want to go back to a React SPA just remove the plugin and config it back to SPA.

I built an app with it recently and it has an amazing DX.

Best part you can literally run it anywhere. It builds for any platform with a single configuration.

What makes it a good alternative? The fact it’s in beta would be a non starter for my org but it’s possible once it’s out of beta it would be worth looking at.

The maintainer also renamed their most popular package (react-query, which was ubiquitous and highly regarded) to fit their eponymous Tanstack branding, meaning if you didn't hear about it somewhere else you would just stop being notified of updates.

Is Vercel any different in this regard? they’ve often broke APIs between releases too. The fact that a company that raised $500million is on par with a small team of volunteers is more damning not less.
