Ask HN: If your company is using cutting-edge webdev stack, what are you using?

For most things I need reasons to NOT use Django.

Over the years I’ve built up a body of experience, tooling, and templates that are up to date, maintainable, and scale well.

Dependencies do get changed out over the years, but many of them are feature complete from my POV.

Admittedly WEBSOCKETS are a blind spot for me. Django does support that but it is not in my tool belt yet

- Next.js web app for the boring stuff (CRUD) + Postgres

- Remix web app for a distributed and fast status page frontend hosted on Cloudflare Pages

What has been your experience with Next.js?

What alternatives have you evaluated when you started?

I used create-react-app, React by itself with a hand rolled webpack config, and Gatsby.

Next.js feels like a team is working for you behind the scenes making everything faster for you, all you need to do is update.

Hey, Lee from the Next.js team at Vercel. Thank you for the kind words! Let me know if there's anything else we can do to improve the experience.
