NexGo vs Next.js
N
NexGo
- ✓ No Node.js, no npm, no runtime
- ✓ Single ~10MB binary
- ✓ 50,000+ requests per second
- ✓ Go's type safety and performance
- ✓ Zero external dependencies
- ✓ Deploy anywhere Go runs
- ✗ No React ecosystem
- ✗ Smaller community (for now)
N
Next.js
- ✓ Huge React ecosystem
- ✓ Large community & resources
- ✓ TypeScript first-class support
- ✓ Rich component ecosystem (shadcn, etc.)
- ✗ Requires Node.js runtime
- ✗ Heavy node_modules (~300MB+)
- ✗ Slower cold starts
- ✗ Lower throughput vs Go
NexGo vs Go Frameworks
| Aspect | NexGo | Gin | Echo | Fiber |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Focus | Full-stack framework | HTTP router | HTTP router | HTTP router |
| Template / Views | ✓ Built-in layout system | Manual setup | Manual setup | Manual setup |
| Route Discovery | ✓ Automatic (filesystem) | Manual register | Manual register | Manual register |
| Dev Experience | Next.js-like DX | Low-level API | Low-level API | Express-like |
| Hot Reload | ✓ Built-in SSE HMR | Use Air/reflex | Use Air/reflex | Use Air/reflex |
| DevTools | ✓ Built-in panel | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ |
| Static Site Generation | ✓ | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ |
| Performance | ~50k req/s | ~80k req/s | ~80k req/s | ~120k req/s |
💡 Note: Gin, Echo, and Fiber are excellent HTTP routers. NexGo is a full-stack framework — the comparison is about developer experience for building complete web applications, not raw routing performance.
When to use NexGo
✓ Use NexGo when...
- → You want Next.js DX with Go performance
- → You're building a content site, blog, or docs
- → You want a single binary with no Node.js
- → You need SSR + SSG + API in one framework
- → You want zero external dependencies
- → You deploy to resource-constrained servers
- → Your team knows Go
✗ Consider alternatives when...
- → You need React components and ecosystem
- → Your team only knows JavaScript/TypeScript
- → You need a complex SPA with rich UI
- → You need maximum raw routing performance
- → You want GraphQL subscriptions or WebSockets (coming soon)
