create-react-app is unmaintained. Next.js? #133

Closed illume closed 9 months ago

illume commented 1 year ago

create-react-app is now unmaintained, and react docs recommend next.js.

Microsoft Azure now supports Next.js with Azure static websites. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/static-web-apps/deploy-nextjs-static-export?tabs=github-actions

It might be an easier approach to run code locally, and is a better documented and well understood system compared to Azure functions.

... we're going ahead with this. Siddhesh has already started a prototype.

There's a question remaining about using Azure functions, or just using Next.js routes... we will try Next.js routes for server side stuff and see if that works. There is a requirement that it's serverless so if it's not being used there's no charge.
