React, Next.js or Vue.js: how to choose?

The best framework is not the one that gets the most attention. It is the one that matches your goals, team, budget and expected project lifecycle.

Summary

  1. 1. Start from the need
  2. 2. Evaluate the team
  3. 3. Compare rendering and SEO
  4. 4. Anticipate maintenance

1. Choose based on product type

A showcase site, a business application, a client portal and an e-commerce platform do not have the same constraints. The technical choice must follow those constraints.

2. Do not forget maintenance

The real cost of a technology is also measured after delivery: updates, hiring, documentation, performance and ability to fix quickly.
