Masonite vs Next.js: What are the differences?
Masonite: Modern and developer centric Python web framework. Masonite is a web framework that is extremely simple and changes what it means for a batteries included Python framework. Intuitive and elegant from installation to deployment; Next.js: *A small framework for server-rendered universal JavaScript apps *. Next.js is a minimalistic framework for server-rendered React applications.
Masonite and Next.js belong to "Frameworks (Full Stack)" category of the tech stack.
Some of the features offered by Masonite are:
- Easily send emails with the Mail Provider and the SMTP and Mailgun drivers.
- Send websocket requests from your server with the Broadcast Provider and Pusher and Ably drivers.
- IOC container and auto resolving dependency injection.
On the other hand, Next.js provides the following key features:
- Zero setup. Use the filesystem as an API
- Only JavaScript. Everything is a function
- Automatic server rendering and code splitting
Masonite and Next.js are both open source tools. Next.js with 38.7K GitHub stars and 4.7K forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Masonite with 1.01K GitHub stars and 51 GitHub forks.
Hey guys,
My backend set up is Prisma / GraphQL-Yoga at the moment, and I love it. It's so intuitive to learn and is really neat on the frontend too, however, there were a few gotchas when I was learning! Especially around understanding how it all pieces together (the stack). There isn't a great deal of information out there on exactly how to put into production my set up, which is a backend set up on a Digital Ocean droplet with Prisma/GraphQL Yoga in a Docker Container using Next & Apollo Client on the frontend somewhere else. It's such a niche subject, so I bet only a few hundred people have got a website with this stack in production. Anyway, I wrote a blog post to help those who might need help understanding it. Here it is, hope it helps!
