Comment on Ask HN: Which full stack framework (NextJS, Remix, SvelteKit) would you use?

Comments

I’d say use a “real” full stack (or batteries included) framework such as Laravel, Rails or Django. If you do need to use React, Vue, etc, then glue them with Inertia.js which is just a super thin layer that basically just replaces those frameworks templates by a modern js franework. Best of both worlds in my opinion, and a super stable and maintainable stack.

My problem with the ones you are mentioning (next, remix, svelte kit, etc) is that 1) they are not a full solution… you still have to figure out everything else, from authentication, authorization, sending emails, ORM, background jobs, etc… and 2) they’re in constant shuffle and rewrites and change of opinions so maintaining long running projects on these frameworks quickly becomes a nightmare.

If it’s for learning or a side project, then pick whatever. If it’s for business, pick tried and true and something g you’re confident in 2 years will be still maintained and not be a totally different beast (ehem, next).
