How did I ever live without you?

As a budding developer, I've tried my hand at many frameworks in an effort to simplify development and deployment without compromising functionality or security. Django, Flask, Vanilla Node, Wordpress, those all have their place. Next.js stands head and shoulders above the rest as a development framework designed for the modern internet.

Building upon the component based React framework, Next.js elevates development from the grimy API configuration of the old ways to a level of ease that is almost too good to be true. With simple point and click deployment platforms like Netlify and Vercel, the latter being the creators of Next.js, this framework has eliminated the tedius and error prone methods of deployment from the past and set itself to be the undeniable ruler of web development spaces across the world. There are so many options available for APIs as well, from external to internal, even using my favorite backend Django is a breeze.

I can't say enough good things about Next.js, I highly reccomend any new developers start there.
