How do you decide between building a single-page app and using a framework like Next.js?
Model answer
A client-only SPA suits dashboards and tools behind a login where SEO is not important. A framework is a better fit when you need good SEO, fast first load, server rendering, file-based routing, or server-side data access. Consider team experience, hosting needs and complexity.
Many teams start with Vite for simplicity and move to a framework when requirements demand it.
