Ask HN: Has anyone migrated from Next.js to Astro and can offer a perspective?

3 points by lucgagan 2y ago ↗ HN

I am having non-stop issues with Next.js (v13), and at this point it feels like I am spending literally days debugging next.js bugs rather than building my website. I hear great things about Astro, but would like to hear some experiences for those who migrated from Next.js to Astro.

Worth mentioning:

* I use Next.js server actions. Not sure what replaces them in Astro * I use a mix of server and client-only components. Not sure if Astro supports RSC * Most of the pages I use are rendered at the request time, rather than build time

For context, this is the website https://ray.run/

I've been learning Astro and considering it for production. So far, it's really help simplify web app development as there's virtually no frontend logic to build.

so I tried migration, but quickly learned that Astro is not great for my use case

I also tried Remix and that went a bit better. However, until they add support RSC, Next.js DX remains superior

What did not work well with Astro for your use-case? Why was Remix a little better?
