Can we use Laravel as a Next.js alternative?

The Laravel ecosystem continues to grow and add a breadth of new features recently with packages like Folio and Volt.

I'm so boring to write PHP code after using PHP and laravel for over 5 years. PHP and Laravel is super easy. I had the hard time to switch other languages for the better job opportunities because I was so addicted the comfortable zone of using PHP. Man, that was hard to leave PHP.

Im came from the React/Next world and then moved to Vue/Laravel + WordPress. The ease of use is just much better with my current tech stack. I can still make mobile apps using Quasar + Ionic Capacitor, all while using Vue and Laravel.

I watched the video in full and as an experienced laravel developer I am not sure that Laravel is a suitable solution for something as simple as a blog as this video somewhat shows how overwhelming it can be to build something as basic as a blog for beginners. Sure, someone experienced like me can easily watch this but I feel where Laravel truly shines is when you have a complex application where you need things like a mailing system, queuing system and cron jobs. I feel Laravel is a much better sell than NextJS when an application is forced to incorporate more complexity as the NextJS ecosystem is really fragmented.

Great stuff! This is exactly how I built my personal website.
Laravel + Orbit + Export package.

Haven't migrated to Folio yet, but it looks super easy to set up.

Laravel is so powerful, and gains power everyday ❤️

These are two very different technologies. With NextJS you are giving up a complex backend for the sake of UX, with Laravel it's the opposite effect. Astro/Nuxt for Next and perhaps Nest for Laravel would be a better comparison. Props to you for doing these great tutorials tho. 🎉

Nextjs became cult man, I've tried to build an web then I felt deepest pain. Its changing continuously, not giving a hell of a break. I am on the way of searching new proper tool.

This video is on par with a Jeffrey Way Laracasts course, see you there soon 😊

Does someone used Laravel + InertiaJS + React? I watched some tutorials and they are like NextJS and seems to work much better. InertiaJS used for routing with params and all the stuff that makes the header part server side rendered.
I migrated my react application to NextJS but it works pretty slow in development mode.

Livewire and Laravel anytime best choice 😊

Is Nuxtjs consider fullstack farmework like Nextjs i see Nuxt have the same sever side for API too ?

[andresgutgon]

Hi, interesting video. One question. What happens with the volt component when the site is generated statically. How it works in production?

[QueeeeenZ]

I much prefer using a proper frontend framework like Next or Nuxt which are specifically made for the frontend and let Laravel take care of the backend which it is specifically made for.

[shubhamsahuSD]

Laravel and livewire protect me for writing complex js and handle everything individually, but laravel and livewire made it easy

[pierbover]

can't orbit give you the filename for the key?

[mouchy]

Why would you want page based routing rather than explicit routing?

[marcinmaj]

I think that Laravel is a better solution, although it has ready-made tools such as Laravel Nova or Laravel Spark. Nextjs is faster etc but aren't the pros of Laravel better and stronger?

[kwasiezor]

Nice video. It can very interesting if you can put all this together in a project. 😊

[HaifengZhu-pnuq]

Which is more powerful, laravel or node.js?

Saw a different video from the channel codeForMe. He did a benchmark test Next vs Laravel and Laravel was much faster and better.
