“Server Components, streaming, and the App Router represent the future of React. The Vercel deployment experience is unmatched.”
“The best local development experience for edge functions. Miniflare emulates the entire Cloudflare platform locally.”
“Some complexity with the App Router learning curve, but it's the most complete full-stack React framework.”
“Local emulation of D1, R2, KV, and Durable Objects means you develop at full speed without deploys.”
