Laravel Breeze’s Inertia-React stack vs. Next.js and Gatsby

The Laravel team has simplified the integration of React with their framework through Laravel Breeze's Inertia-React stack, enabling developers to create full-stack applications with ease. This setup offers seamless server-side rendering, routing, authentication, state management, and session management, making it a strong contender against frameworks like Next.js and Gatsby. Laravel Breeze, introduced in Laravel 8, provides a starter kit with built-in authentication and frontend scaffolding, styled with Tailwind CSS, and utilizes Inertia.js to connect React, Vue, or Svelte frontends with a Laravel backend without needing a REST API. This integration allows for efficient session and state management, straightforward client-side asset compiling with Laravel Mix, and a flexible data management system. While there are some limitations, such as challenges with SEO and PHP's concurrency, the benefits of building monolithic applications with Laravel's architecture, including ease of setup and maintenance, make it an attractive option for developers.
