Show Notes 03:34 - Server-rendered Both do server rendered Gatsby is gone at build time Next is done at build and on deploy 05:26 - Static generation getStaticProps() getServerSideProps() 08:25 - Re-rendering pages Gatsby can be re-rendered and re-deployed - any CMS lets you do this on only the pages that changed. Gatsby-cloud Next.js has the revalidate flag that will re-render when stale 18:54 - Data management Gatsby has a built in GraphQL API feature with Next.js has nothing - it’s not their problem. Use Apollo, or SWR, React Query, or redux, or whatever you want. 23:16 - Client-side data Neither do anything, next. 26:33 - Dynamic Pages List of 100 shoes, each one gets a page List of four types of shoes: basketball, runners, casual, bowling, etc. List of 10 colors: each color gets its own page. List of 12 sizes, each size gets its own page. Now it gets complicated when you do this: Show me basketball shoes, in red, in size 5 600 pages minimum What about size 6+7? Then you get into having to fetch data on the client side - but all your data is in GraphQL?! The queries are different! Gatsby will get “Hosted GraphQL”: https://twitter.com/kylemathews/status/1252803849775009794 30:41 - Routing Neither do nested routing still Both do folder based wrapper 34:50 - Hosting Anywhere 35:54 - Images Compression/resize Lazy loading SVG Blur up Next 10 released first revision of Next.js image It’s not as good as Gatbsy-image Must specify width and height, whereas gatsby has fixed and fluid Compression No blur up Yes lazy loading both don’t support gifs Gatbsy requires annoying GraphQL query OR another plugin like MDX to do it Not for long! https://twitter.com/ascorbic/status/1320770231657238529 Next.js is just Next does remote images Neither have quality or format auto like Cloudinary does Gatsby images have to be compressed at build time Next.js can do it on the fly assuming your server has the right tooling installed The GOLD STANDARD - https://gridsome.org/docs/images/ Lib authors need to give this a look https://twitter.com/mxstbr/status/1323279745275101184 https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby/tree/master/packages/gatsby-plugin-image 46:20 - Server or Serverless Gatsby - none. You can do it with Netlify, Begin, AWS, Gatsby doesn’t care. Next.js - can do server with API routes. Can do serverless if you host on Vercel. 49:44 - SEO Tags Gatsby - Helmet Next - Head Sitemap Plugin for both 49:55 - Plugin Ecosystem Gatsby has lots of plugins that you install Next.js has some too. Seems Gatsby is easier in this regard because plugins can manage and normalize data into the GRaphQL Layer. 53:10 - Auth Neither do auth The first to do baked-in auth solution could get big gains. See Scott’s Svelte Meteor accounts set up. It good. https://github.com/leveluptuts/svelte-accounts-ui 55:00 - E-commerce Gatsby - options are mostly limited to Snipcart and Shopify like iframe drop in solutions where the majority of operations take place on another site and service. Next.js - hey released a starter boilerplate that leans on an existing headless cart https://rainierwatch.com/ Links Syntax 120: Gatsby vs Next Gatsby Next.js Svelte Meteor Vercel GraphQL https://www.swyx.io/react-sfcs-here/ React Query SWR React Router gatsby-image Cloudinary imgIX Begin Netlify https://reactioncommerce.com/ Shopify SnipCart WooCommerce ××× SIIIIICK ××× PIIIICKS ××× Scott: Cobra Drain Zip It Wes: Deli Containers: Mixed Boys Small Boys Medium Boys Large Boys Shameless Plugs Scott: Animating Svelte - Sign up for the year and save 25%!
