We are looking into frameworks/libraries to build a content publishing site using React, key requirements are usual stuff SEO, page speed, along with ease of server side rendering. Has anyone any experience with using React Starter Kit in production environment for a medium-large sized application? Has anyone tried Next.js?

Am new to React kits and frameworks, and as I understand RSK is just an isomorphic boilerplate and next.js is also isomorphic though with server-side rendering. How do they compare and what might work in what situation? am not necessarily looking for an easy to put together boilerplate but a library/framework that has a strong base and can justify use in production.

I have tried Nextjs and its working fine in production . Nextjs is easy to setup and gives you ssr functionality .It easier to create isomorphic app with Nextjs in comparison react kit. With SSR page load is instant with Nextjs .

  • Thank for the response, am interested in "It easier to create isomorphic app with Nextjs in comparison react kit" have you used React starter kit before? How did you/your team come to this conclusion? – user988544 Jun 12 '17 at 21:28

    yes i have used react-starter kit before in another project you have to configure everything according to you , but next its easy to configure as most of dependency handled by next itself.... and you know react is just a library so you need supporting packages with it ,even though you are using starter kit you should have knowledge that how different packages are linked . and making an app isomorphic in react takes a lot of effort in comaprison to next.. And with next you can use all the knowledge you have in react without worrying about the dependency. – Rajat Gupta Jun 13 '17 at 04:28
