In this podcast, the speaker shares their journey of rebuilding the same application using five different tech stacks: Rails, Elixir/Phoenix, Go/GraphQL/React, Next.js Pages Router (T3), and Next.js App Router with Server Components (RSC). They delve into the setup, development experience, performance, and codebase size of each stack. While recognizing the pros and cons of each, the discussion ultimately emphasizes the Next.js App Router with Server Components for its outstanding performance and developer experience, highlighting its simplicity and speed in comparison to the others.
