Next.js is the React framework most teams reach for. The App Router brought React Server Components, streaming, and Server Actions to a stable production stack. Routing is file-based, data fetching happens on the server by default, and the bundler (Turbopack) is fast enough for big apps. Pairs natively with Vercel for deployment. The trade-offs are conceptual complexity around server vs client components and a tight coupling to React's evolving model.
