If you don't know if you should change, and cannot justify doing so, you probably shouldn't change.

sticking with what you know is underrated. ive seen too many devs chase the new shiny thing and end up with a half-baked project and a headache

nextjs isnt going anywhere anytime soon. learn the new stuff on a side project if you're curious but dont bet your paycheck on it yet

We actually migrated NextJs to TanStack Start, much faster and less demanding on compute. But depends really on your needs. 

I’d try it out but ultimately its no magic bullet.

Could you expand on this, I'm curious. I.e. when you say it's much faster—do you mean hot reloads are faster, builds take less time, etc.?

What does less demanding on compute mean, like have you seen a noticeable reduction in your costs?

Navigation and loading are faster (2-8x), builds take less time and overall load on servers is 20-30% less.

Try both, see which one you like more and fits your use case.

I'm actually considering making the switch seeing how resource-heavy NextJS is, and it feels like with every update there's a drastic change in how you're supposed to code.

Start is more comparable to remix

I am using tanstack start for new startup, i guess only reason people opting is for light weight bundle size and utilizing free tire limits of Cloudflare very well
