Astro and Next.js solve different problems. Astro shines for content-heavy sites with minimal JavaScript. Next.js is the go-to choice for interactive web applications.
Astro ships zero kilobytes of JavaScript by default and allows islands architecture where interactivity is needed. Next.js offers a complete React ecosystem with Server Components and API routes.
The decision depends on the project type: blog, docs, or marketing site? Astro. SaaS dashboard or complex web app? Next.js. Both are excellent tools in their respective domains.
